Keeneland Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Claiming
MARKET PUNDIT (7) Chad C Brown 3yo by Candy Ride having first race appearance. Watch betting. STEEL GOLDEN (1) In the money when 2nd last run at Colonial Downs and drawn well. Has a nice turn of foot. Recent form of Aaron M West is strong. Expect to go close. THROTTLE (3) Came in 2nd last time at Churchill Downs. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Irad Ortiz Jr is a bonus. Worth strong consideration. FLAMING RAINBOW (5) Resumes after a spell. Good run when placing 2nd last run at Ellis Park and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Likely threat.

Looked good when 2nd last run at Colonial Downs and has drawn the rails. Should get going late. Aaron M West has been training plenty of winners recently. Nice price for the value seekers.

Was $23.00 and picked up some late ground when 5th last time at Saratoga and having second career run. Might have to make up considerable ground. Has a good draw. Will struggle to compete in this race.

Ran 2nd last time at Churchill Downs. Has shown early pace in races to date. Great to see jockey Irad Ortiz Jr taking the ride. Genuine claims.

Produced an eye catching run when 3rd beaten by 1 1/4L last time here and promising career start. Always seems to find the line well. Should run a competitive race.
