Keeneland Race 6 - Race 6 - Maiden Special Weight
PUTEKETEKE (3) Maintained a solid pace but eventually weakened to finish 3rd beaten by just short of 7L last run at Turfway Park. Should muster plenty of early speed. Underrated. MIZZOU (4) Managed to finish 2nd beaten by close to 7L last run at Gulfstream Park. Should be going forward early. Putting up notable efforts since resuming from a spell. Must respect in this event. AWESOME BEAT (8) Fresh today after a break. Nice effort to run into 3rd last time at Woodbine. First start for a new trainer. Will be competitive. CULPER CODE (6) First start at the races 3yo by Independence Hall for Kenneth G Mcpeek. Betting as a guide.

Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Odds of $9.50 and ran 7th last time at Turfway Park but drawn beautifully. Won't be far away during the run. Rough chance today.

Came on strongly when 2nd last start at Fair Grounds and drawn nicely. Showing improvement in recent outings. Likely to be an exotics contender.

Claimed late when 3rd last run at Turfway Park. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Jockey Flavien Prat is in form. Solid chance.

Showed a good turn of foot when 2nd last run at Gulfstream Park. Will be positive in the run early. Racing consistently since returning from a break. Will go close.

Resuming after a spell of 40 weeks. Started $18.00 and came in 7th last start at Churchill Downs but having second career run. Prefers to settle towards the tail. Entitled to be a big price.

Resumes after a spell. Odds of $23.00 and subpar when 9th last start at Oaklawn Park and coming back in distance. Overlook from a betting angle.
