Keeneland Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance
ROTHKO (2) Couldn't keep the momentum going throughout when 2nd beaten by 1L last run at Fair Grounds and putting a tidy record together. Should come to hand quickly. Drawn nicely. This field suits. SWEETALKINGBOURBON (4) Struggled with the pace when 7th last run at Oaklawn Park. Giving another chance here. Jose L Ortiz takes the reins today. Can give this a shake. FACT (5) Solid effort to run into 2nd beaten by 1 1/2L last time at Gulfstream Park and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Facing formidable rivals. Among better hopes. ROGER ROGER (3) Led throughout to win by 3 1/2L last run at Aqueduct. Won't be far away during the run. Flavien Prat adds value. Chance for exotics.

First up after a 43 week break. Started at $8.00 and made up ground when 5th last start at Churchill Downs and drawn well. Competing at a higher grade. Hard to warm to at present.

Was quite a handful for the competition when 2nd last run at Fair Grounds and solid career start. Should muster plenty of early toe. Irad Ortiz Jr is a plus. Good prospects.

Assumed control from the start to win by 3 1/2L last run at Aqueduct. Displays good tactical speed. Amongst the placegetters at every start this campaign. This looks a tough assignment.

Was $4.00 and couldn't maintain the pace when 7th last run at Oaklawn Park. Giving another chance here. Good to see Jose L Ortiz is jumping on. Strong claims in this.
