Keeneland Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming
OVERCOME ADVERSITY (1) Lost ground in the run home when 6th last start Hollywood Casino At Charles Town Races. Capable of a strong comeback and competing in a lower grade. Winnable race. MODO (3) Gave away some ground when 5th last run at Churchill Downs. Giving another go here but matched against a stronger field. Expecting to settle positively. In the mix. HER TOWN (6) Flashed home late into 2nd last run at Churchill Downs but testing ability against stronger contenders. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. INEFFICIENCY (5) Ran a solid race on the speed before weakening to finish 3rd last time at Saratoga and good career start. Won't be far away during the run. Betting is the best guide and has each way claims.

Was $4.00 and didn't threaten when 6th last start Hollywood Casino At Charles Town Races. Capable of a strong comeback and competing in an easier class. Drawn the rails. Good chance and definitely has claims.
