Keeneland Race 3 - Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance S. Stakes
CANADA (2) is the one to beat after a decisive Listed win at Woodbine, where he came away to beat Mo Cookie by just under two lengths at only his second start. The shorter 1609m is new, but he is race fit, drawn kindly and already proven on turf. ROSCOE GOOSE (8) is still a maiden, yet his two seconds have real substance, particularly the G2 Pilgrim Stakes placing at Belmont Park Turf when beaten half a length by Let Em Know. REAL GOODBAR (3) brings the local G2 Bourbon Stakes reference, having placed at this track behind Agate, and his record around 1609m gives him a solid platform. COAST HIGHWAY (10) is unbeaten from two starts and showed grit to win a Listed race at Laurel Turf, so he remains a genuine winning threat if transferring that form to this venue. Something for the Multiples: MAXIFY (1)

Went within a nose of Repo Man in the G3 Zuma Beach Stakes at Santa Anita Turf last start, travelling strongly behind the leaders and only being caught on the post. His debut Mdn win at Del Mar Turf came from midfield at long odds, so the two-run profile is genuine. The beaten-favourite tag tempers the win case slightly, but he is race fit, consistent and drawn to hold a positive spot.

Put his maiden placing behind him with a strong Listed win at Woodbine, moving into the race before fighting clear to beat Mo Cookie by just under two lengths. He had been well-supported favourite when second on debut, so the improvement has substance. The 1609m is new, but he is third-up, proven on turf and drawn to use his tactical speed, giving him the most persuasive winning profile.

Placed in the G2 Bourbon Stakes at this track last start, finishing third behind Agate and beaten two and a half lengths after working home evenly. His previous fourth in the G3 Iroquois Stakes at Churchill Downs was sound without being sharp late. Returning to 1609m suits, with a prior win at the trip, and his black-type grounding keeps him high among the main chances.

Returns from a two-month break unbeaten in two starts, most recently producing a strong late surge to win the G3 Del Mar Juvenile Turf Stakes by just under a length. He also won his Mdn on debut at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf and is two from two at the distance. Even with that profile, this field has several deeper form lines, so he has to lift again to trouble the top picks.

Returns from a two-month break after a solid G3 third at Salisbury, beaten a length by Acclamation Star over 1207m when finishing strongly. She had earlier run second in the G3 Sweet Solera Stakes at Newmarket (july), beaten half a length as favourite. The form has merit, but 1609m is new and she must answer that distance question to become a serious threat.

Returns after five weeks having protected an unbeaten record with a narrow ALLOW win at Churchill Downs Turf, getting home by a neck over Bearamour. His debut Mdn win at Kentucky also came from well back, so he clearly has a winning habit. This is a stronger overall set of rivals than he has met, but he is race fit and honest enough to be a genuine place player.

Made sharp improvement second-up when winning a Mdn at this track by just over two lengths, sweeping home from well back to beat Castle Pines with authority. His debut seventh at Kentucky was more educational than threatening, although he did work home fairly after being unwanted in betting. With a track-and-trip win now on the board, he has credible claims for a minor result.

Has filled second in both starts and the latest was high-quality, beaten half a length by Let Em Know in the G2 Pilgrim Stakes at Belmont Park Turf after finishing strongly. He was also pipped by the same horse on debut at Saratoga Turf, so his consistency is clear. Still winless and back to an untried 1609m, but the black-type form makes him a major danger.

Worked back into the placings when third in the Listed STAR APPEAL STAKES at Dundalk Aw last start, though she was beaten just under five lengths by Joga Bonito. The run prior was a plain last in the G2 Prix Du Calvados at Deauville after starting odds-on. Her overall record is honest, and the weight helps, but 1609m is untried and she profiles more as a place hope.

Went close in an ALLOW at this track last start, beaten a nose by Merlin Monroan after travelling well just off the lead. That was a clear turnaround from his G3 Iroquois Stakes failure at Churchill Downs, where he finished last and beaten over 11 lengths at long odds. He has placed at this venue, but the earlier defeat behind Real Goodbar leaves him with plenty to find.

Returns after six weeks following a debut Mdn win at Churchill Downs Turf, where he came from a long way back to beat Time In Motion by a nose over 1710m. That finish showed promise, but the margin was narrow and he now comes back to an untried 1609m second-up. With only one race start behind him, he has to find another level against more seasoned black-type form.
