Keeneland Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance
PAGODE (4) resumed last time out and finished second over 1710m at Churchill Downs, beaten 1.5 lengths. Profiles nicely. RUGGED LOVE (8) finished seventh two runs back at Ellis Park (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by half a length after being prominent at the turn over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. BOURBON FLIGHT (11) found one better last start at Kentucky (Turf) over 1609m. Is yet to miss the frame from three starts at this distance, including two wins. Should park just off the speed. One to consider. FUZZBUSTER (9) broke his maiden three starts back and has not been far away since, most recently when beaten 3 lengths into third over 1609m in stakes class at Kentucky (Turf). Will find this much easier. Too good to ignore. Something for the Multiples: SLOBBERKNOCKER (6)

Comes here off a 34-day let-up. Last start won by 2 len at Churchill Downs on September 17 over 1710m defeating Throttle with 54.5kg at $12.08. Before that 7th of 12 at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf on August 6 over 1609m, 12 len behind Quiet Mischief with 55.5kg at $18.60. Rather invest elsewhere.

Comes here off a 46-day let-up. At the latest run 2nd of 7 at Delaware Park on September 5 over 1673m, 0.1 len behind Carentan carrying 53kg at $2.70. The start before that won by 1.3 len at Delaware Park on August 20 over 1609m defeating Undertaker carrying 53.5kg at $2.70. Recent form suggests this might be a bit too tough.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 52 day let-up. Last start 2nd of 12 at Kentucky on August 30 over 1609m, 8 len behind Blast Furnace carrying 55.5kg at $11.06. The run before that won by 2.75 len at Ellis Park on August 7 over 1609m defeating Spirit Of A Walkon carrying 56kg at $3.72. Should be right in the finish.
