Keeneland Race 6 - Race 6 - Allowance Optional Claiming
LANDED (2) Has multiple wins when resuming. Couldn't keep the pace going when 3rd beaten by 3L last time at Aqueduct and can find a nice position from the draw. One of the top hopes. PAHOEHOE D'ORO (4) Rocketed home when winning last time at Oaklawn Park and competing in an easier class. Jockey Flavien Prat is in form and showing consistent performance in races. Live winning chance. TAKE CHARGE OMAHA (1) First up from a break. Gave away some ground when 4th last run at Oaklawn Park. Giving another go here and has drawn the rails. Mario Gutierrez is a bonus. Must respect. SIERRA NOVEMBER (3) Came on strongly to finish 2nd when beaten by 6L last start at Fair Grounds and has been racing in stronger company. Irad Ortiz Jr is a plus. Not out of this.

Resuming after a break. Started at $4.00 and didn't threaten when 4th last run at Oaklawn Park. Giving another go here. Good to see Mario Gutierrez is jumping on. Value runner at good odds.

Has multiple wins first up. Was found wanting late when 3rd last time at Aqueduct and drawn nicely. Expecting to settle positively. John R Velazquez rates highly. Good winning chance.

Improved to place when 2nd beaten by 6L last start at Fair Grounds and facing a weaker grade. Very competitive this campaign. Irad Ortiz Jr is a pivotal booking. Stands out as good value.

Dashed home to win last time at Oaklawn Park and will appreciate the drop in class. Flavien Prat adds value and good career start. Demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Will be in the finish.

Started at $8.50 and looked outclassed when 5th last run at Oaklawn Park but up against weaker rivals. Won't be far away during the run. Can't have in this.

Odds of $21.00 and made up ground when 4th last run at Turfway Park and strong form at the trip. Very hard to have.
