Kentucky Downs Race 4 - Race 4 - Allowance
BATTLEFIELD HERO (4) Ran on strongly to win last start at Ellis Park and was a debutant last start. Jockey Yedsit Hazlewood adds value but competing in a higher grade. Key player. NEVER SLEEP (1) Led and controlled the pace to win by a margin of 1 3/4L last start at Ellis Park and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Can give this a shake. TRIM CASTLE (2) Set the pace to win by 3L last time at Colonial Downs and drawn nicely. Displays good tactical speed. Performing impressively since returning from a break and promising career start. Good prospects. CRYSTAL RIVER (8) Won by a huge margin of 3L last time at Gulfstream Park and fitter for debut run. Won't be far away during the run. Challenged by more formidable competitors. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race.

Dictated terms in front to win by 1 3/4L last start at Ellis Park and will appreciate a good draw. Has early speed and positions nicely. Racing in stronger company. Serious contender.

Managed to finish 3rd beaten by 4 1/2L last run at Ellis Park and was on debut last time. Gets back and needs luck. Up against tougher competition. This is a tough race.

Was eating up the ground late when winning last start at Ellis Park and having second career run. Jockey Yedsit Hazlewood is an asset but taking on stronger competition. Strong prospects in this race.

Found another gear when winning by a margin of 3L last time at Gulfstream Park and having second race start. Will be positive in the run early. Solid chance.

Came on strongly to finish 3rd last time at Saratoga but rising in grade. Amongst the placegetters at every start this preparation. Shows good finishing speed. Will go close.
