Keeneland Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Claiming
BY LA RINA (10) raced on the pace over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) last time and held on for a place. Should park just off the speed. Among the leading chances. HARD CHAMP (1) started at $6.11 last time and ran below expectations, finishing 11th and beaten 21 lengths at Kentucky (Turf) over 1308m. Has the talent to take this out. ALLISON AVENUE (11) gave away a big start at the top of the straight last start and finished 5 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. FLEETING MOON (5) resumes from a spell of seven months. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 1408m at Gulfstream Park (Dirt). Rates highly on best form and a bright return wouldn't surprise.
