Keeneland Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming
OUR STANDARD (4) First up after a break of 44 weeks. Won with a leg in the air by more than 8L last run at Fair Grounds and having second career run. In the mix. HODL HARD (5) Led and controlled the pace to win by a margin of 3/4L last time at Churchill Downs. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Winning hope. KEEPINITREAL (11) Made considerable ground when 3rd last start at Prairie Meadows but competing at a higher class. Putting up notable efforts since coming back from a break. Worth strong consideration. ESSENTIAL WILD CAT (3) Good performance to run into 2nd last start at Belterra Park but challenged by a tougher grade. This field suits.

Tidy run when 3rd last time at Churchill Downs and has minimal work to do from the draw. Coming to a new trainer but will be dropping in distance. Minor claims.
