Keeneland Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Special Weight
COMMITMENT FUND (7) was only 0.1 lengths from the winner in second last time out in a small field over 1609m at Saratoga (Dirt). Will be fitter for that run, can go one better today. MR TAPPS (2) will find this a little easier than his third on debut four weeks ago, beaten 1.4 lengths at the end of 1811m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Will benefit from that experience so he should pay to follow. TOP DRAWER (4) had been performing well until racing below his best last time when fourth over 1811m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Should camp just off the leaders. Will be in this for a long way. EL TIO (1) was in the money two starts back at Ellis Park then missed the frame but was not too far away last time over 1811m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Has ability and rates among the chances.

At the latest run 5th of 8 at Churchill Downs on September 27 over 1811m, 5.5 len behind Don's Winner with 54.5kg at $27.30. The start before that made ground from midfield; 2nd of 9 at Ellis Park on August 21 over 1609m, 1.5 len behind Find No Fault carrying 53.5kg at $45.33. Can do a lot better than that last run.
