Kentucky Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Mdn Special Weight
HE'S MY KIND (8) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing third last time out over 1106m at Saratoga Turf (Turf). Meets some better types this time but he has the talent to test this line-up. ASTAR (3) lines up on the back of a 1.5 lengths fourth over 1106m at Ellis Park Turf. Likely to be in the finish. BAYFRONT (2) finished 1.5 lengths from the winner in second on debut last start over 1609m at Colonial Downs Inner Turf (Turf). Drawn well close to the inside so he can feature again.
