Keeneland Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance
RUGGED LOVE (8) Rounded them up when winning last run at Churchill Downs and putting a tidy record together. Going well this preparation but racing in stronger company. Can win. SLOBBERKNOCKER (6) Missed by a narrow margin last time at Delaware Park but matched against tougher rivals. Jockey Julio A Hernandez and trainer Mclean Robertson can't be overlooked. Expect to go close. PAGODE (4) Managed to finish 2nd last start at Churchill Downs but facing a stronger group of contenders. Has to be included. FREDDIE B (3) Came in 6th last run at Belmont Park but showing consistent performance in races. Producing consistent results this preparation but competing at a higher level of competition. Chance for exotics punters.

Back from a break of 35 weeks. At $12.00 below par performance when 7th last time at Gulfstream Park but will appreciate a good draw. Might be ridden for luck. Could put in your exotics.
