Keeneland Race 6 - Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint Stakes (G1)
LIBERTANGO (3) brings the strongest exposed line after running second in the G1 Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket (rowley), beaten a length by Sun Goddess after picking up strongly. Her G2 Lowther Stakes win at York two back gives the profile real substance, and while 1106m is new, her five-start record of three wins and two placings sets a high standard. PRIMETIME EMMY (12) is the main danger after winning the G3 Prix Eclipse at Chantilly as favourite, with two wins from three starts and a proven record around this distance. BRICKYARD BELLE (4) is unbeaten, already a G3 Matron Stakes winner and one-for-one at the trip, so she has upside against these. MUSSAB (5) arrives in winning form after the G3 Cornwallis Stakes and Listed Harry Rosebery Stakes, with his strong jockey-horse record adding to a genuine winning case.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing fourth in the G1 Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket (rowley), beaten just under three lengths after leading and working home evenly. The G3 Sirenia Stakes win at Kempton Park Aw prior was strong, beating Shimmering Sun by just under four lengths, and Oisin Murphy is three from three on her. The first try at 1106m is the query, but her overall record keeps her in the winning mix.

Returns from a five-week let-up following a high-quality second in the G1 Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket (rowley), beaten a length after picking up impressively. She had won the G2 Lowther Stakes at York the run prior and has three wins and two placings from five starts. The first try at 1106m is the one qualification, but her Group form and consistency make her the horse to beat.

Maintained her unbeaten record when taking the G3 Matron Stakes at Belmont Park Inner Turf, working over Harper's Corner to win by half a length as a well-supported favourite. Her debut win at Saratoga Turf was by four and a half lengths, so she has already shown both talent and progression. Proven at around 1106m and third-up now, she profiles as a serious winning threat.

Arrives in excellent form after winning the G3 Cornwallis Stakes at Newmarket (rowley), making up a stack of ground to beat In The Black by a nose. That followed a Listed Harry Rosebery Stakes win at Ayr, where he beat Dubai Champion by just over a length. With three wins from six starts and a strong record with Oisin Orr, he has the right profile to be highly competitive again.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing third in the G3 Round Tower Stakes at Curragh, beaten two lengths in a small field. Her G1 Phoenix Stakes third prior, beaten just under two lengths by Sun Goddess, gives her a respectable Group reference, and weight relief helps. Even so, she has been placing rather than winning of late and has to find a sharper edge against this field.

Returns from a two-month break after a close second in the G2 Flying Childers Stakes at Doncaster, beaten a neck by Final Objective when an outside chance in betting. The concern is that her previous run was a seventh behind Libertango in the G2 Lowther Stakes at York, beaten five and a half lengths. New distance and mixed recent form leave her with a fair bit to prove.

Returns from a five-week let-up after nearly stealing the G1 Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket (rowley), leading and only just being run down by Orthodox. He had won at Dundalk Aw eight days earlier as a well-supported favourite, so the campaign has substance. First go at 1106m is a small query, but if he repeats that G1 effort he is a realistic place player.

Returns from a two-month break after winning the G2 Flying Childers Stakes at Doncaster, beating Crownbreaker by a neck as a firming favourite. His previous G2 Gimcrack Stakes second at York was also sound, beaten just under a length by Arapaho Gold after being pipped late. With James Doyle two wins from three rides on him, he has the right credentials for a place finish.

Was run down late when second to Brickyard Belle in the G3 Matron Stakes at Belmont Park Inner Turf, beaten half a length after leading. She had also run second in the G1 Spinaway Stakes at Saratoga, albeit beaten just under five lengths. Her four-start record is consistent and she has won around 1106m, but the Matron form still gives Brickyard Belle the upper hand.

He was also third in the G2 Gimcrack Stakes at York, beaten three lengths by Arapaho Gold. The consistency is sound, but with only one win from five starts he must find more authority at the business end.

Returns from a six-week let-up after winning the G3 Prix Eclipse at Chantilly, getting over Scythe by a nose as favourite. That put a Deauville fifth behind her, and her overall record of two wins from three starts is supported by two wins from three at around 1106m. With Mickael Barzalona back aboard and the distance suiting, she looks a major winning chance.

Was beaten as favourite in the G3 Indian Summer Stakes at this track, finishing fourth by a neck after leading and being run down late. She had been beaten a neck in the G3 Sorrento Stakes at Del Mar the run prior, so her margins are tight, but she has now been collared late at successive runs. The wide draw adds another hurdle and she must lift to threaten the main hopes.
