Kentucky Downs Race 9 - Kentucky Downs Juvenile Sprint S. Stakes
OBLITERATION (8) is a promising type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Looks suited and expected to go close on best form. JOHNNY'S RED STORM (2) was ridden positively and led throughout to score over 1106m at Saratoga (Turf) last time. Has the pace and draw for a good early position and is likely to play a major role. TRENDSETTER (10) scored last start in Listed grade at Colonial Downs (Dirt) to make it two wins from two starts this campaign. Well placed in this easier race. Should measure up in this field. LONGSHOREMAN (7) has not raced since he scored over 1006m at Churchill Downs on June 20. Should run very well.
