Keeneland Race 5 - Race 5 - Starter Allowance
JETS RIO (1) is close to a win after a sequence of strong results, the latest when second over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Ready to find winning form. VITRUVIAN MAN (5) finds it hard to win with just one success from 10 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 1609m at Kentucky, beaten 6 lengths. Beautifully placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. EASY WIND (8) is having his second run back from a break after he failed to threaten first up over 1710m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf), beaten 7 lengths. Can feature in the finish. SOUTH BEND TOM (9) fought on for third last start over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Dirt), beaten 3 lengths to add to some fine recent form. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time.
