#2 Son of Sarah comes into this race off the best of race of her career. It came down to Gulfstream Park just over a month ago and she looks like it's her turn to visit the winners circle.
9-8-3
#9 Tiz Freedom text a huge dropout in class and this should work out for him in a big way. He was just simply in too tough in his last couple of races and this is a aggressive class drop that hopefully equals a win.
7-8-10
#7 Capturing sprinted for the first time in her last race and it was one of the best efforts that we've seen from this horse so I think that that is a huge angle to utilize here and race number three at Keeneland.
4-3-5
#4 Baytown Bruiser comes back to Kentucky for the first time since October of last year, but really has ramped up his form and his last couple of starts. He was wondering his most recent start and the fact that he's eligible for the starter race is a huge advantage, and his connections are taking full advantage of that here this afternoon.

#3 Susan’s Boy Texas drop down in class and looks live based simply on that angle alone for Cherie DeVaux a trainer who wins 15% of the time when going from maiden to maiden claiming races.
8-9-4
#8 Candy Rockette was an impressive winner in her most recent start and did so going a longer distance which she will do again here today. A lot of upside with this runner for Trainer Bill Mott.
6-7-1
#6 Modus Bestia rattled off a pair of impressive wins at Del Mar last fall, and then was thrown into extremely difficult competition in his last two starts. The fact that his connection see justification and bringing him here to Kentucky tells me he's doing well and they have found him a really nice spot to get back into his winning ways.
3-7-8
#3 Dhabab has been a steady warrior for Trainer Ed Vaughan over the course of his race career and the last time we saw him here Keena when he was a winner back in October. His most recent start was a very strong effort at Churchill Downs and I'm banking on the fact that this seven-year-old is Justin some of the best form of his career even at this age.
3-8-6
#3 Tennessee Lamb won this race last year and got plenty of respect. I like his pattern having sprinted in his most recent start to get him ready for these longer distance races where he's clearly at his best. Looking for a back-to-back winner of the Ben Ali Stakes in this co-featured event.
6-3-8
#6 Burnham Square won the G1 Toyota Bluegrass Stakes on dirt last year at the age of three, but he since Ben moved over to the turf course and I've heard Trainer Ian Wilkes talk about the fact that he feels like he's going to be a turf force moving forward. His last two starts on turf have been encouraging and I think that the mile and a half distance will really help him out today.

#3 Fast Gun put together a solid enough debut chasing extremely fast pace back on March 13 down at Fair Grounds in New Orleans. He comes from a nice family and he's working well here at Keeneland racecourse in the mornings.
