Keeneland Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Claiming
BORAX (5) ran a much better race at his second outing last start to finish second over 1207m at Churchill Downs. Looks well placed so expect another big run. WYGUY (7) has not raced since his debut back on August 15 when he finished eighth over 1609m at Ellis Park Turf (Turf). Expected to be in the finish with the blinkers applied. BIG STAR BOUND (4) is a two-year-old gelding on debut from the stable of W A Ward. By Golden Pal from Wish Way. Any push in betting should be respected. FUNCTIONAL (2) was solid on debut last start when beaten 7 lengths into sixth over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) on September 24. One of the contenders.
