Kentucky Downs Race 11 - Race 11 - Mdn Special Weight
FERROUS (10) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when third over 1609m at Ellis Park Turf (Turf). Should park just off the speed. Likely to feature. BEACH SANDALS (7) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found a couple better over 1106m at Saratoga Turf, beaten only 1.3 lengths. Taking on a better line-up this time but he deserves plenty of thought. ROOSEVELT (8) is a first-starter by Golden Pal from Complicated who has been a fine producer including a winner at the elite level. Comes out of the the strong juvenile stable of B H Cox. Promising type who can feature in the finish. ARSENAL STAR (9) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of W A Ward. By Munnings from Carnaby Street. Watch the market closely.
