Keeneland Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance
AMERICAN PEARL (1) First up from a 39 week break. Tidy run when 3rd last start at Gulfstream Park and facing a weaker group of contenders. Will be positive in the run early. Winning hope. MARIA LOUISE (2) Ran a solid race on the speed before weakening to finish 3rd last run at Saratoga and will try to take advantage of the draw. Racing against tougher rivals. Must respect. ATROPA (6) Resumes after a spell of 39 weeks. Ran 3rd last start at Fair Grounds and putting a tidy record together. Up against a higher level of opposition. Goes very close. PASSIONFRUIT (9) Zipped home into 2nd beaten by 1/2L last time at Churchill Downs and solid career start. Has good closing speed. Running with confidence this preparation. Worth keeping safe.

Ran out of steam towards the end when 3rd last run at Saratoga and gets a favourable alley. Competing in a more challenging grade. Nice chance at a very tempting price.

Fresh from a break. Jumped at $6.00 and finished 5th last run at Ellis Park and facing a stronger group of contenders. Should come to hand quickly. Not at all out of this race.

Worked hard to place 3rd last time at Churchill Downs but competing at a higher class. Likely to get back. Others make far more appeal.
