Keeneland Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Special Weight
SPECTACULAR SAM (1) Showed a good turn of foot when 2nd beaten by 5 1/4L last start at Monmouth Park and facing weaker opposition. Putting a tidy record together so far. Every chance today. ENERGY FLOWS (2) Didn't threaten when 6th last time at Saratoga. May see an upturn in form and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Will be positive in the run early. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. JUMP SEAT (6) Right up there last start at Ellis Park and fitter for debut run. Added confidence jockey with Irad Ortiz Jr doing the steering and rising in distance. In the mix. THE FINAL SECRET (7) Made considerable ground when 2nd last run at Ellis Park and having second race start. Displays good tactical speed. Has to be included.

Did well to run into 2nd last start at Monmouth Park and up against a less competitive field. Performing honestly this campaign and drawn well. Promising career start. Will run close.

At $6.00 gave away some ground when 6th last time at Saratoga. May see an upturn in form and showing consistent performance in races. Expecting to settle positively. Should go close.

Jumped at $18.00 and finished 7th last run at Churchill Downs but having second career run. Prefers to settle towards the tail. Will need a big effort to win this.

Odds of $36.00 and advanced late into 5th last run at Ellis Park. J Tyler Servis has been training plenty of winners recently. Can't entertain a bet.

At $28.00 below standard effort when 6th last time at Kentucky Downs but was on debut last time. Looks hopeful.

Threw down a serious challenge last start at Ellis Park and having second career run. Irad Ortiz Jr rates highly aboard and rising in trip. Can measure up against these.
