Keeneland Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance
DOUBLE TALKER (7) Fresh today after a 50 week spell. Finished 3rd last start at Churchill Downs. Stable is in form. One of the major players. UNITAS (10) Left nothing to chance when winning by 1 3/4L last time at Fair Grounds. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Jockey Flavien Prat adds value. Has to be included. BEER RUN (3) Fresh after a break. Nice run when 2nd last time at Churchill Downs and up against a less competitive field. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . STRATE CASH (6) Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Mediocre display when 6th last time at Turfway Park and matched against a stronger field. Expected to be flashing home. Can't be left out of trifectas. Something for the Multiples: RAZORCAT (2)

Close up last start at Turfway Park and competing at a lower level of competition. William D Cowans stable are on fire recently and drawn beautifully. Do not dismiss.

Pulled away to win by a margin of 3L last run at Fair Grounds and can find a nice position from the draw. Watch the betting.

Won by a huge margin of 4 1/2L last run at Turfway Park. Jockey Irving Moncada and trainer Destin G Heath are a pair that can't be ignored. Slight prospect.

First up from a break. Odds of $5.50 and was ordinary when 6th last time at Turfway Park and up against a more competitive field. Possesses good finishing speed. Betting is the best guide.

Strong performance to win by 1 3/4L last time at Fair Grounds. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Flavien Prat adds value. Solid claims.
