Keeneland Race 5 - Race 5 - Starter Allowance
ANNA BO BANNA (1) Dominant winner by a margin of 3 1/4L last start at Churchill Downs and having second race start. Should race on the speed. Capable of taking this out. LIFE'S PAGEANT (5) Showed some merit late when 4th last run at Colonial Downs and putting a tidy record together so far. Racing consistently this preparation but competing in a higher grade. Can go on with it. VALKYRIE (8) Produced an eye catching run when 2nd beaten by just short of 8L last run at Churchill Downs and competing in a less challenging grade. Definite claims. LEXI'S CHARM (4) Made up ground when 4th last run at Saratoga but competing in a more challenging grade. Will be motoring home late. Strong chance.

Mediocre display when 6th last run at Churchill Downs but can find a nice position from the draw. Should get going late. Up against a higher level of opposition. Place chance.

Started at $14.00 and moved ahead of some to finish 4th last run at Saratoga but competing at a higher level of competition. Will be hitting the line strongly. Expecting a solid performance.

Jumped at $8.00 and ran past a few when 4th last run at Colonial Downs and promising career start. In good shape this preparation but will be down in distance. Good potential.

Started $36.00 and lost ground in the run home when 8th last run at Kentucky Downs and rising in class. Great to see jockey Irad Ortiz Jr taking the ride. Others preferred.

At $43.00 folded up in the straight when 8th last time at Ellis Park and facing a stronger group of contenders. Too much luck needed to come into contention.

Ran on when 2nd last run at Churchill Downs and competing at a lower grade. Should muster plenty of early toe. Has claims.
