Keeneland Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance
CLOCK TOWER (2) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second at Saratoga Turf (Turf) two starts back then got the job done by one length as favourite last time out over 1308m at Kentucky (Turf). Jose Ortiz scored on him last time and retains the ride. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done again. GOLDEN AFTERNOON (3) did a good job last start to finish second in the G2 Kentucky Downs Turf Sprint Stakes (Turf) over 1207m, beaten 1.3 lengths. Should be at his peak now. Significant rider change with I Ortiz Jr, who is unbeaten from three rides, taking over. Leading contender. SCRIPT (5) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fourth, beaten 2.75 lengths, over 1106m in the G2 Woodford Stakes at this track (Turf). Will strip fitter and is expected to do much better. NOBALS (1) is overdue for a win. Excellent effort last start to finish second in stakes company over 1207m at Woodbine. Goes well at this journey with six wins from 16 starts and deserves respect.

Recent form sound. Most recently 2nd of 7 in the G2 Nearctic Stakes at Woodbine on October 3 over 1207m, 3 len behind Victory Achieved with 56kg at $6.50. Before that 3rd of 9 at Saratoga Turf on August 2 over 1106m, 0.6 len behind Creditworthy with 56kg at $4.77. Won't spend a penny in the run from the inside barrier. Good each-way hope.

Comes off a 47 day let-up. Most recently 2nd of 11 in the G2 Kentucky Downs Turf Sprint Stakes on September 5 over 1207m, 1.3 len behind Possiblemente carrying 55kg at $19.93. The run before that ran second last of 9 in Listed grade at Ellis Park Turf at Ellis Park Turf on August 2 over 1106m, 4.5 len behind Joe Shiesty carrying 55.5kg at $11.08. Making headway. Likely to measure up again.

Resuming after a break of 11 weeks. Finished off last campaign by 1.5 len Ellis Park Turf August 9 over 1106m defeating Boltage carrying 55.5kg at $10.62. Previous preparation first-up won by 2.5 len Ellis Park July 11 over 1106m defeating Run Benji Run carrying 55.5kg at $4.56. Not good enough for these.

Last start eased back early on 7th of 9 in the G2 Woodford Stakes at this track on October 3 over 1106m, 5 len behind Joe Shiesty with 55kg at $9.52. Before that came from midfield; 3rd of 11 in the G2 Kentucky Downs Turf Sprint Stakes on September 5 over 1207m, 2.5 len behind Possiblemente carrying 55kg at $19.95. Easily accounted for last start but is capable of better.
