Keeneland Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Special Weight
FOLLOW YOUR HEART (10) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1106m at Saratoga Turf (Turf) when second, beaten 4.5 lengths. Will benefit from that experience so a big run is anticipated. NOVO MESTO (12) settled towards the back last start on debut then pushed forward and boxed on well to finish second over 1609m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf). Will be better for that experience and looks a coming winner. MAJORBROWNIEPOINTS (2) missed the frame on debut then improved last time when 1.75 lengths away in second over 1308m at Kentucky (Turf). Has a strong finish. Has upside and is among the chances again. Something for the Multiples: CYBER GAL (15) MARIGOLD RUN (4)

Having third race start. At debut, 8th of 10 at Ellis Park Turf on July 18 over 1609m, 6 len behind Up Before The Dawn carrying 54kg at $12.10. Second-up tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 11 at Kentucky on September 7 over 1609m, 6 len behind Lucky Bernadine with 54kg at $12.20. A top-three finish would surprise.

Had two starts to date. At very big odds at debut, 4th of 12 at Ellis Park Turf on July 31 over 1710m, 4 len behind Glycogen carrying 54kg at $54.18. Second-up sat behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 7 at Kentucky on August 30 over 1609m, 8 len behind New Purpose carrying 54kg at $6.79. Needs plenty of luck.

Racing well recently. Returns from a 33-day let-up. Most recently sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 10 at Churchill Downs Turf on September 18 over 1609m, 1.5 len behind Make It Skate carrying 54kg at $5.33. Before that held ground to the line 2nd of 9 at Ellis Park Turf on August 16 over 1609m, 0.1 len behind Homeawayfromhome carrying 54kg at $9.23. Capable of going to the next level.
