Keeneland Race 10 - Race 10 - Mdn Special Weight
AL GHADEER (6) returned last time with a solid second at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 1710m after being in contention on the corner. Nicely placed to go one better. SESASI (5) was unwanted in betting on debut last start but ran a strong race, finishing third and beaten 2.5 lengths over 1408m at Saratoga (Dirt). Can get off the mark this time. FAST GUN (9) last appeared when she finished fourth over 1609m at Ellis Park (Dirt) on August 16. Sure to make her presence felt. CYNICAL HUMOR (3) finished third last start over 1308m at Kentucky (Turf), beaten 4 lengths. This is a nice drop in grade so she will be hard to beat.
