Keeneland Race 9 - Bank Of America Valley View S. Stakes
SISTER TROIENNE (5) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 1609m at Belmont Park Turf when coming back from a spell. Sound record at this distance with two wins and two minor placings from five runs and is sure to go well. DEFINE (3) showed good early dash and stalked the pace last start before drawing clear to score by 1.75 lengths over 1710m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf). Will find this much tougher but she is right in this. ULTIMATE LOVE (1) went forward from a wide gate last time over 1609m in the G3 Winter Memories Stakes at Belmont Park Turf (Turf) but faded and missed the frame. Has a formidable record at this journey with two wins and two placings from six starts and is one of the prime contenders. SPIN A TUNE (2) had been in great form winning two on end before just missing last time when runner-up over 1710m at Churchill Downs Turf.

Dual acceptor. Raced twice to date. At debut, came from midfield and scored a big 8 len win at Monmouth Park Turf on July 17 over 1710m defeating Academia with 54kg at $10. Second-up 4th of 9 at Saratoga Turf on August 29 over 1710m, 0.6 len behind People Watching with 56kg at $2.12. Likely to find them too smart.
