Keeneland Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance
SENIOR OFFICER (2) Good performance to run into 2nd last start at Oaklawn Park and good career start. Possesses very good closing speed. Irad Ortiz Jr is a suitable booking. One of the better chances. BRING THE SMOKE (6) Showed a clean pair of heels when winning by a margin of over 18L last time at Laurel Park. First appearance for a new trainer. Top prospects against this opposition. SARGENT SULLY (4) Controlled the speed to win by 3 3/4L last start at Fair Grounds and promising career start. Should muster plenty of early speed. William Walden stable are running hot lately. Has claims. LUCIUS VERUS (5) Made ground when closing off to finish 5th last time at Turfway Park but up against a higher level of opposition. Should get going late. Could go well at this level.

Started off strong but faded towards the end when 3rd last start at Gulfstream Park but racing in stronger company. Shows good early pace. Marginal chance.

Led throughout when winning by 3 3/4L last start at Fair Grounds and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Should be going forward early. Represents significant value.

Was $4.33 and made up ground when 5th last time at Turfway Park but challenged by more formidable competitors. Recent form of Aaron M West is strong. Definite winning chance.

Gave them all something to chase when winning by a margin of over 18L last time at Laurel Park. Coming to a new trainer. Good winning chance.
