Keeneland Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Special Weight
STAGED (12) William I Mott 3yo by Medaglia D'oro having first race appearance. Irad Ortiz Jr is a crucial engagement. Watch the betting. RULES AND REGS (7) Made some ground late when 3rd beaten by 2 1/2L last run at Kentucky Downs and solid career start. Will be trying to topple them late. Worth consideration. HATHAWAY (2) Liam's Map 4yo having first race appearance for Michel Douaihy and can find a nice position from the draw. Market as guide. COGNITION (11) Back from a 58 week spell. Put in a competitive run when placing 3rd beaten by more than 11L last time at Saratoga and having second race start. Must be considered.

At $53.00 faded to finish 11th last run at Kentucky Downs. Gets back and needs luck. Brody Martinez takes a large claim. Others are better.

Started $9.50 and gave away some ground when 5th last run at Ellis Park. Won't be far away during the run. Long shot.

Resumes after a spell of 58 weeks. Good performance to run into 3rd last time at Saratoga and having second career run. Jockey Flavien Prat is highly regarded. Has a good chance.

Initial appearance 3yo by Medaglia D'oro for William I Mott. Irad Ortiz Jr is a key engagement. Betting is the best guide.
