Keeneland Race 6 - Race 6 - Allowance Optional Claiming
CLAIRITA (2) Subpar when 6th last start at Churchill Downs. Can make a comeback and matched against lesser competition. Junior Alvarado and Philip A Bauer are a strong team. Drawn nicely. Looks well suited in this race. STRONG DESTINY (5) First up and won with a leg in the air by almost 9L first up last preparation at Turfway Park. Should muster plenty of early toe. No surprise to see a win. SO THERE SHE WAS (4) Below par performance when 6th last time at Del Mar but has been racing in stronger company. Will be hitting the line strongly. Can take this out. UNION MIST (6) Attacked the line when 3rd last time at Churchill Downs. Will be motoring home late. Been in the money 3 from 3 attempts this campaign. Has scope so do not ignore.

Odds of $10.00 and unsatisfactory performance when 6th last time at Del Mar but taking on a lower class of opponents. Should get going late. Worthy of strong consideration.

First up and was strong to the line when winning by a margin of almost 9L first up last preparation at Turfway Park. Should jump out and bowl along. Solid chance.

Good performance to run into 3rd last time at Churchill Downs. Expected to be flashing home. Has run into the money at every start this preparation. Could feature prominently.
