Keeneland Race 10 - Race 10 - Mdn Special Weight
FAST GUN (9) First up from a spell. Came in 4th last time at Ellis Park. Should improve here. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Strong hope. AL GHADEER (6) Finished 2nd last time at Churchill Downs and good career start. Hard to overlook. CYNICAL HUMOR (3) Caught the eye when 3rd last start at Kentucky Downs. Jockey Walter A Rodriguez and trainer Wesley A Ward must be respected together. Has the ability to take this out. FLASH OF FREEDOM (7) First up after 17 weeks and grabbed towards the finish when 2nd first up last preparation around here. Must come into consideration.

Started $10.00 and weakened under pressure when 10th last start at Churchill Downs but has drawn to do little work. Should jump out and bowl along. Highly unlikely to feature here.

Resumes from a 46 week break. Started at $10.00 and faded to finish 7th last time at Churchill Downs but has a positive draw. Not very reliable.

Finished amongst the placegetters when 3rd last start at Saratoga and fitter for debut run. Recent form of Todd A Pletcher is strong. Can run into the placings.

Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Started at $3.40 and finished 4th last time at Ellis Park. Should improve here. Should race on the speed. Winning potential.
