Keeneland Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance
QUICK PICK (10) Displayed a good turn of foot when winning last time at Churchill Downs. Jaime A Torres and William Walden work well together. Must respect in this event. PURE OCTANE (3) Narrowly denied a win last time at Delaware Park and rising in distance. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Putting a tidy record together so far. Suitably placed in this race. WINTER HOLIDAY (2) Struggled with the pace when 7th last run at Churchill Downs but facing less formidable opponents. Drawn nicely. Honest performer putting a tidy record together. Respect in this event. BRAVE PILOT (7) First run back from a break. Folded up in the straight when 6th last start at Churchill Downs and racing against tougher rivals. Should muster plenty of early speed. Won't be far away.

Stormed home to win last run at Churchill Downs and has drawn to do little work. First race for a new trainer but facing a stronger class. Watch for a sign in the market.

Jumped at $4.00 and couldn't stay in touch when 7th last run at Churchill Downs but matched against lesser competition. Will try to take advantage of the draw. Very capable of taking this out.
