Keeneland Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
BREADCRUMB TRAIL (8) missed the frame on debut then progressed nicely at his second outing, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1207m at Churchill Downs. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. JUNCTION (11) has been in the betting at both starts but has failed to break through. Most recently finished fourth over 1308m at Kentucky (Turf), beaten 4 lengths. Capable enough so worth another chance. SALTY VIKING (3) ran a much better race at his second outing last start to finish second over 1308m at Kentucky. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. FARROKH (10) was fair on debut last time out when seventh over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Should appreciate the extra ground. Among the better hopes.

Had two starts to date. At big odds at debut, 7th of 12 at Ellis Park Turf on August 23 over 1106m, 10 len behind Ciarlatano carrying 54kg at $31.86. Second-up made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Kentucky on September 9 over 1308m, 2.75 len behind Blaring Ambition carrying 54kg at $7.66. Should be right in the finish.

Recent form sound. Most recently 3rd of 9 at Churchill Downs on September 23 over 1609m, 8 len behind My Boy Gary carrying 54kg at $3.92. The start before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 11 at Ellis Park on August 21 over 1207m, 2.5 len behind Full Access carrying 54kg at $4.96. Solid prospects and a good draw doesn't hurt.
