Keeneland Race 10 - Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Stakes (G1)
FOLSOM BLUES (10) bolted in to win the Vincent O'Brien National Stakes at G1 level two back before jumping the odds-on favourite and missing behind Amusingly last start when an odds-on pop. Out to the mile now is a big tick for her chances and DBM knows her well. Can get back to winning ways. AVEC TOI (2) represents some value after winning the Rochette two back before a 5.4L defeat in the Amusingly race last start. Drawn the inside here and the rise in trip looks a good sign. Drawn to find the front this time and he'll be in this for a very long way. GREAT BARRIER REEF (14) needs some luck from the draw, though Moore hops back on board and his recent figure in the Dewhurst is good for this. Where he gets to in the run is the query, but he's good enough if the luck swings his way. HOW'S AL TODAY (5) bolted in last start in the Juvenile Stakes. He's the most likely local hope. HAFFNER (4) can sit handy and make his presence felt.

Brings a strong overall record, with four wins from five starts and two G3 wins, so the profile still demands respect. The query is the last-start sixth in the G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere at Longchamp, where he was near the top of betting but battled only fairly and lost to Folsom Blues. Blinkers go on and the first try at 1609m gives him scope to rebound strongly.

Held fourth in the G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere at Longchamp last start, beaten just over three lengths after briefly taking over before being overrun, despite being unwanted in the market. He had also run third to Folsom Blues in the G1 Vincent O'Brien National Stakes at Curragh. The 1609m record is still unproven, but he is honest enough for a placing.

Returns from a five-week freshening after winning the G2 Royal Lodge Stakes at Newmarket (rowley), where he was heavily backed and beat Burning Up by just over a length with a sharp turn of foot. That was a clear bounce-back from a well-beaten seventh behind Folsom Blues at Curragh. Weight relief helps and his place claims are genuine if that latest form holds up.

Returns from a lengthy spell in outstanding winning form, having bolted in by four and a half lengths in a Listed race at Kentucky as a well-supported favourite. He had won by four lengths the run before, and his record shows three wins and one place from four starts overall. Proven at 1609m and unbeaten on turf, he brings a strong, progressive winning profile.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing fourth in the G1 Golden Fleece Stakes at Leopardstown, beaten just over seven lengths by Darkness Falls. His previous Mdn win at Hamilton Park was dominant, but it came in a three-horse field as a very short odds-on favourite. Back to a proven 1609m helps, yet this looks a stern test on exposed form.

Won the G2 Pilgrim Stakes at Belmont Park Turf last start, beating Roscoe Goose by half a length at long odds after settling handy and finding enough late. The run prior was a fair fifth in the G1 Summer Stakes at Woodbine, beaten three and a half lengths. His one previous 1609m attempt produced no placing, so he profiles as a solid place hope rather than a clear top pick.

Returns from a lengthy spell chasing a hat-trick after winning the G3 With Anticipation Stakes at Saratoga Inner Turf by a neck in a three-horse field. His prior Mdn win was more decisive, scoring from And The Runner Is as favourite. Unbeaten on turf and trained by a strong stable, but his first try around 1609m makes him a measured place chance.

Returns from a lengthy spell after a close sixth in the G2 Flying Childers Stakes at Doncaster, beaten a length and a half after drifting from opening levels. Two back he won the Listed Roses Stakes at York from Adonius over 1005m. The first attempt around 1609m is a genuine question, and others bring stronger mile credentials.

Comes through the right form, finishing second in the G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere at Longchamp, beaten just over a length by Amusingly after travelling well and closing strongly. He had won the G1 Vincent O'Brien National Stakes at Curragh by six lengths the start before and has placed in all six career runs. The new 1609m is a query, but his Group 1 substance makes him the one to beat.

Returns from a lengthy spell after running second in the G1 Summer Stakes at Woodbine, beaten just under two lengths by Al Hudaiba when near the top of betting. He won on debut at Saratoga Turf, edging Bold Leadership in a Mdn as favourite. The two-start record is tidy and he has placed at this distance, but this field demands a bigger performance.

Won the G2 Bourbon Stakes at this track last start, charging home from well back to beat Bold Leadership by just under two lengths. That followed a Listed third at Kentucky behind How's Al Today, beaten just over six lengths. His track and distance profile is a plus, but the prior margin to How's Al Today suggests he still has ground to make up.

Finished fourth in the G2 Bourbon Stakes at this track last start, beaten just under four lengths by Agate after looking no hope before finishing strongly. He had won a Listed race at Colonial Downs Turf two back as a short odds-on favourite. Proven at the distance, but he has already been held by a rival from this field and must lift to threaten.
