Keeneland Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Claiming
PROPS (2) brings the most consistent recent form, with two runner-up finishes at this distance and a solid fourth at Keeneland last start. EDITOR (1) is lightly raced and comes off a second at Fair Grounds over this trip, making him a key threat from the inside draw. BIG BOY THUNDER (6) has placed twice in his last three runs, including a last-start second at Turfway Park, and should be competitive again. J DAVID (8) resumes after a long break but was runner-up at this track and distance two starts back. The race sets up well for those with proven 1207m form.
