Kentucky Downs Race 10 - Keeneland Sales Tapit S. Stakes
MOUNTAIN BEAR (5) impressed first-up then took on a much better race last time when fifth over 1609m in the G3 Kelso Handicap at Saratoga (Turf). Capable of a return to form. CAMEO PERFORMANCE (7) is back after a break of 12 weeks. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1811m at Fairgrounds. Expect him to play a major role. LAGYNOS (14) ran below expectations last time out when seventh over 1609m in the G1 Fourstardave Handicap at Saratoga (Turf). Can bounce back. MULTITASK (6) settled well back then came home powerfully to score by 0.3 lengths over 1609m at Ellis Park (Turf) last time out. In form and worth including. Something for the Multiples: PAROS (1)
