Keeneland Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance
STEPPING STONES (12) Grabbed towards the finish when 3rd last start at Fair Grounds and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Showing great form since coming back from a spell. Goes very close. GLEAN (3) Resuming after a break of 48 weeks. Moved ahead of some to finish 4th last start at Pimlico. Should be going forward early. Will give a big sight. VALALA (6) Dictated the tempo to win by 1 3/4L last run at Turfway Park but challenged by a tougher grade. Deserves consideration. HOT MASH (10) First up from a spell of 31 weeks. Gave a strong sight when 2nd last start at Woodbine and facing less formidable opponents. Will be positive in the run early. Appears well in this.

Odds of $3.20 and edged past some when finishing 5th last time at Turfway Park and gets a favourable draw. Tim Girten stable are on a hot streak. Strong claims in this.

Started $16.00 and moderate showing when 7th last time at Gulfstream Park but has a good draw. Might be ridden for luck. Matched against a stronger field. Looking at others.
