Keeneland Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Claiming
THROTTLE (3) finished second, beaten 2 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) after he was in contention on the bend. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. FLAMING RAINBOW (5) was close to a maiden win before a three-and-a-half months break, finishing off with a placing over 1609m at Ellis Park (Dirt). Expect he has come on over the break. All set for a bold return. STEEL GOLDEN (1) is a five-start maiden who finished second over 1710m at Colonial Downs Turf (Turf) last time out after being in the firing line on the turn. Nicely placed to find winning ways. SUMMER OF GEORGE (2) stepped out on his debut over 1308m at Saratoga (Dirt) six weeks ago and finished fifth, beaten 11 lengths. Will be better for that run and is expected to go well.
