Keeneland Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Special Weight
WATERMAN'S SONG (11) Debutant 2yo by Blue Point for Cherie Devaux. Watch betting. CYBER GAL (15) Ran well when 3rd last time at Churchill Downs and showing consistent performance in races. Looking sharp on the track since resuming from a break. Must respect in this event. FOLLOW YOUR HEART (10) Was amongst the placegetters when 2nd last run at Saratoga and was a debutant last start. Has the speed to overcome the wide draw. Going up in distance. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. MAJORBROWNIEPOINTS (2) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd beaten by 1 3/4L last start at Kentucky Downs and has a positive draw. Can win this.

Started at $23.00 and sub-standard effort when 7th last run at Churchill Downs but having second race start. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Has drawn the rails. Will be tested.

Started at $14.00 and unsatisfactory performance when 6th last time at Kentucky Downs but fitter for debut run. Prefer a return to something a lot easier.

Odds of $14.00 and came in 6th last time at Kentucky Downs but having second career run. Might be ridden for luck. Could feature here.

Made considerable ground when 2nd last run at Saratoga and fitter for debut run. The wide draw shouldn't be a problem with plenty of early speed. Rising in trip. Serious contender.

At $23.00 couldn't find the line when 5th last run at Churchill Downs. Has the early speed to burn across from the wide draw. Can't leave out of your calculations.
