Keeneland Race 9 - Breeders' Cup Mile (G1)

NOTABLE SPEECH (8) is looking for the hat-trick and back-to-back Breeders' Cup Mile wins, following an easy 1.3L victory in the Woodbine Mile last start. He's going better now than he was 12 months ago and on his current form, he looks set to keep the ball rolling. DETERMINISTIC (1) led them up in the Woodbine Mile but couldn't fend off NOTABLE SPEECH, running second there. He was great in the Fourstardave prior and an inside draw is a big tick for his chances. Expecting him to be right in the finish again. TRUE LOVE (12) comes through the De La Foret where she got the job done narrowly over 1400m. She ran into Blue Bolt the start prior, so that form stacks p here and she can't be discounted despite the wide barrier. QIRAT (7) dominated from the front at his last start at Longchamp and hasd to be included. RHETORICAL (9) won impressively last time out and can feature in the finish.

Returns after two months off following a solid second in the G1 Woodbine Mile Stakes, where he led and was beaten just over a length by Notable Speech. He had won the G1 Fourstardave Handicap start prior, beating Mi Bago by a length and a half as favourite. With ten wins and five places from 17 starts and an outstanding record for K Carmouche, he has the right credentials to give this a real shake.

Comments

Kept finding for second in the G1 Coolmore Turf Mile Stakes at this track, beaten just over two lengths by Rhetorical after settling rearward. He had also run second to Notable Speech in the G1 City Of York Stakes at York over 1408m, so the recent form reads well. The query is his mile record, with only one placing from five tries, but he still profiles as a genuine place hope.

Comments

Dug deep to win an ALLOW over 1710m at this track last start, beating Highway Robber by half a length after settling rearward. The concern is that he was sixth in the G3 Mint Millions Invitational Stakes at Kentucky start prior, beaten just over four lengths after giving away a big start. His mile record is sound, but this assignment demands a sharper Group 1-level performance.

Returns after five weeks off following a narrow win in the G2 City of Hope Mile Stakes at Santa Anita Turf, where he led and held on by a nose. That followed a fourth in the G2 Del Mar Mile Handicap, beaten just over half a length by King Of Gosford. He is racing well and is proven around the mile, although one previous unplaced run at this track keeps him more in the place mix.

Returns from a six-month break after being last seen running second in the G1 NHK Mile Cup at Tokyo, beaten a nose by Rodeo Drive after finishing strongly. He had won the G3 Churchill Downs (Arlington) Cup at Hanshin start prior at generous odds. Two wins and one place from three mile attempts gives him a base, but he has a tough fresh task transferring that form here.

Produced a strong last-start win in the G2 Prix Daniel Wildenstein at Longchamp, beating Quddwah by two and a half lengths after kicking clear at generous odds. He had earlier been third in the G2 Park Stakes at Doncaster, beaten two lengths. The first look at this venue is a factor and his mile record is mixed, but current form says he is a serious winning threat.

Returns after two months off as the runner to beat, having won the G1 Woodbine Mile Stakes by just over a length from Deterministic after settling rearward and finishing with authority. He had already beaten Lake Forest in the G1 City Of York Stakes, winning by just under three lengths as favourite. With seven G1 wins and a deep mile record, he brings the clearest winning profile.

Won the G1 Coolmore Turf Mile Stakes at this track in fine style, beating Lake Forest by just over two lengths as a well-supported favourite. That came after a fourth to Deterministic in the G1 Fourstardave Handicap, where he made up ground but was beaten two and a half lengths. Two wins and one place from three at this track and distance give him strong place credentials.

Returns after five weeks off and has plenty to turn around after finishing 14th in the G1 Sprinters Stakes at Nakayama, beaten over 10 lengths with no late impression. He was eighth in the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at Ascot before that, beaten three lengths at big odds. The mile is untried and recent form makes this a demanding assignment.

Returns after two months off following a plain seventh in the G3 Mint Millions Invitational Stakes at Kentucky, where he was well-supported favourite but was beaten just under five lengths. His previous run was a much better third in the G2 Eddie Read Stakes, beaten a head at Del Mar Turf. The mile record is strong, but he must reverse the recent slide to threaten.

Lifted strongly to win the G1 Prix De La Foret at Longchamp last start, beating Nighttime by a head as a well-supported favourite over 1400m. The prior sixth in the G1 Matron Stakes was below her best, but her broader record is excellent, with six wins and six places from 15 starts and three G1 wins. Proven enough at the mile, she has the quality to be right in this.

Was fourth in the G1 Coolmore Turf Mile Stakes at this track last start, beaten two and a half lengths by Rhetorical after tracking the speed and not finishing off. Start prior he was third in the G3 Mint Millions Invitational Stakes at Kentucky, beaten just under a length. His track-and-trip win and perfect Listed record support a place case, but the top chances look sharper.

Ran a much better race when third in the G1 Prix De La Foret at Longchamp, beaten a long neck by True Love after tracking the speed and letting down well at generous odds. He had been safely held by Notable Speech at York before that, finishing sixth and beaten four and a half lengths. The mile remains a query, so he has to show that latest 1400m effort stretches out.
