Keeneland Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance
HEAR THE QUEEN (3) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third when resuming last start over 1609m at Kentucky (Turf). Will be up on the speed from the low draw. Perfectly placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. BOJACA BLESSING (10) had been in top form landing two consecutive wins before a last-start third over 1811m at Del Mar Turf. Can bounce straight back. ONTARIO (2) was well in commission last start over 1811m in Listed grade at Woodbine when fourth, beaten 4 lengths. Well placed in this easier race. Should be involved in the finish. CAVIAR BREAKFAST (1) improved sharply last time out to score by 0.3 lengths over 1609m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf) four weeks ago. Solid top-three prospects.
