Keeneland Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
MIAMI FRANK (5) is back at the races for the first time since June 4. Scored over 1408m at Gulfstream Park to launch the last campaign. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Joe Sharp. Expect him to play a major role. EAST VILLAGE (6) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second at Colonial Downs Inner Turf (Turf) two starts back then got the job done by 1.3 lengths as favourite last time out over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Taking on a better line-up this time but he deserves plenty of thought. MR RANDY (4) was prominent at the bend and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1673m at Presque Isle Downs after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to figure in the finish. DON'T FIRE JOE (8) dug deep to score when fresh from a spell two runs back then was beaten 15 lengths into seventh over 1710m at Assiniboia Downs last time four weeks ago. Top-three chance.

Last start ran last of 9 at Horseshoe Indianapolis on October 1 over 1710m, 31 len behind Expect The Best with 52kg at $115.90. Before that got back early 6th of 8 at Horseshoe Indianapolis on September 8 over 1673m, 10 len behind Purdy Darn Good with 55.5kg at $43.60. Doesn't look good enough to threaten the top few.
