Kentucky Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Special Weight
TEND TO YOU (2) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when second over 1811m at Ellis Park Turf (Turf). Should camp just off the leaders. Among the leading chances. OLLIE LUKE OUT (6) is a three-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 1.1 lengths when fourth over 1710m at Saratoga Inner Turf (Turf). Chance to break his maiden status with that run under his belt. PARNASSUS (4) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1710m at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic). Meeting a tougher field but he is capable of testing his rivals. GRAND PREMIERE (9) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1710m at Ellis Park Turf, beaten 3 lengths. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat.
