Keeneland Race 9 - Darley Alcibiades S. Stakes
EMPHATIC (1) Was very impressive when winning by a margin of 5 1/4L last time at Monmouth Park and drawn the rails. Flawless this campaign with 2 wins from as many starts. Will be there at the finish. SUMMER STARLET (5) Put a gap on the rest when winning by 4 3/4L last start at Saratoga but competing at a higher level of competition. Genuine winning chance. FOR THE MONEY (2) Went to the front and never looked back to win by a margin of 7L last run at Colonial Downs and rising in distance. Displays good tactical speed. Up to these. EVER FORWARD (3) Fought on gamely when winning by 1/2L last run at Ellis Park but challenged by more formidable competitors. Should be going forward early. Can get the job done.

Took charge of the race when winning by 7L last run at Colonial Downs and will try to take advantage of the draw. Racing over a longer distance. Good chance of taking this out.

Brave effort to win narrowly by 1/2L last run at Ellis Park but up against a more competitive field. Should muster plenty of early toe. Strong prospects in this race.

Shot away to win by a margin of 5 1/4L last time at Churchill Downs and was a debutant last start. Racing against tougher rivals. Possible place chance.

Reeled them in when winning last run at Saratoga and was on debut last time. Chad C Brown has been training plenty of winners recently but taking on stronger opponents. Must respect.

Was dominant when winning by 3 3/4L last start at Churchill Downs but facing formidable opponents. Always seems to find the line well. Respected competitor.
