Keeneland Race 6 - Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile Stakes (G1)

FORGED STEEL (9) couldn't be caught in the Goodwood Stakes at Santa Anita last time out. His two previous runs he didn't have things to suit and disappointed, though going back to the mile is a big tick fo him. Can work across from the draw, find the fornt and be ery hard to run down. FURTHER ADO (1) jumped favourite in the Kentucky Derby after bolting in by 11L in the Blue Grass at this track back in April. He wasn't beaten far in the Pennsylvania Derby last start over 1811m and comes back to the mile now. Drawn the inside is a big tick though and his class can't be denied. FULL SERRANO (3) disappointed in this race 12 months ago at Del Mar, but looks to be building nicely coming into it again this year. Coming back to a mile off a good run in the Pacific and he adds intrigue. OWEN ALMIGHTY (10) won't be far away on recent form. BRACKET BUSTER (7) will have to go to a new level now, but he profiles nicely and remains relatively untapped.

Returns from a six-week let-up after a strong second in the G1 Pennsylvania Derby at Parx, beaten half a length by The Puma after settling handy as favourite. He had been fifth in the G1 Haskell Invitational two back when fading late, but his broader record is excellent with four wins and three placings from ten starts. The mile is new, yet two wins from two starts at this track keep him right among the winning chances.

Returns from a one-month let-up in winning form, having taken the G3 Vosburgh Stakes at Belmont Park by a nose from Crazy Mason after fighting hard late. His G1 Forego Stakes second at Saratoga two back was also sound, especially at big odds. The question is the step back to around 1609m, where his only previous attempt was unplaced, so he profiles as a place chance rather than a clear top pick.

Returns from a three-month break with the right distance profile, boasting six wins and three placings from eleven starts at this trip. Last seen finishing third in the G1 Pacific Classic Stakes at Del Mar, beaten seven and a half lengths by Knightsbridge after travelling well before tiring. He had earlier been fair in the G3 Oaklawn Mile Stakes, and his proven G1 record makes him a major threat fresh.

Comments

Returns from a five-week freshening as one of the steadier performers in the field, with three consecutive seconds this campaign. He was beaten just over three lengths by Dragoon Guard in the G2 Lukas Classic Stakes after pressing forward, and a neck second in the G3 Philip H. Iselin Stakes reads well enough. Still, his lone G1 attempt was unplaced, so he looks more a reliable place contender than the winner.

Returns from a five-week freshening after going within a nose of Bishops Bay in the G3 Ack Ack Handicap at Churchill Downs, finishing strongly from back in the field. He was also third in Listed grade at Ellis Park two back, beaten a length and a half by Owen Almighty. The Juan P Vargas partnership is a clear positive, but he has to turn competitive placings into something sharper at this level.

Returns from a five-month break after winning at Urawa last start, beating Wilson Tesoro by a length and a half over 1400m when near the top of betting. His Funabashi third before that came at big odds and was a sound effort. Kazuo Yokoyama has a strong record on him, and his overall figures are solid, but this first run in the country at G1 level asks for a clear step forward.

Back after six weeks on the sidelines following a Listed second at Parx, where he was beaten two lengths by Wild Vine as a short odds-on favourite. The run prior was dominant, winning by over 15 lengths at Mountaineer Park from Warp Nine after being well-supported. His recent form is solid and he has placed at G1 level, but that last-start defeat tempers the winning case slightly.

Returns from a one-month let-up after a plain seventh in the G3 Vosburgh Stakes at Belmont Park, beaten just over eight lengths by T Kraft when near the top of betting and making no late impression. His G2 Pat O'Brien Stakes second to Iron Man Cal two back was much better, and the distance record is strong. Even so, he must rebound sharply from the latest run to trouble the main chances.

Comments

Returns from a five-week let-up after a close third in the G3 Ack Ack Handicap at Churchill Downs, beaten just over a length by Bishops Bay after holding his position to the turn. He won in Listed grade at Ellis Park the start prior, beating This Is Uscar by just over a length as favourite. His five-start record at the trip includes a win and four placings, which makes him a genuine each-way player.

Comments

Returns from a three-month break after winning the G2 Pat O'Brien Stakes at Del Mar, beating Moonlight by half a length at long odds after fighting on strongly. He had also placed in the G2 San Diego Handicap two back, beaten three lengths by Journalism. The recent record is respectable and Tyler Gaffalione is a positive booking, but resuming into this deeper G1 test leaves him with work to do.
