Keeneland Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming
FLOODLITES (1) Back from a spell. Led throughout to win by a margin of 1 3/4L last time at Aqueduct and solid performer at this trip in the past. Strong hope. KALAHARI DREAMS (3) First up from a break. Kept chasing when 3rd beaten by 5 1/4L last start at Oaklawn Park but facing a stronger group of contenders. Will give a big sight. KEEP IT EASY (4) Ran 6th last time at Tampa Bay Downs. Looking past the last run but facing stiffer opposition. Back to a shorter trip. Should go close. CAN DO ANDREW (2) First up after 34 weeks and was much too speedy in front to win by just over 10L first up last preparation at Prairie Meadows. Has a good draw. Can measure up to this company.

First up. Was strong late when 3rd last start at Oaklawn Park but challenged by a tougher grade. Expect support.

Jumped at $8.00 and came in 6th last time at Tampa Bay Downs. Looking past the last run but dropping in distance. Expected to be flashing home. Can measure up against these.

Fresh today after a break. Average at best when 11th last run at Del Mar but will find this grade more suitable. Displays good tactical speed. Should be included in your exotics.
