Kentucky Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Mdn Special Weight
HE'S MY KIND (8) Displayed a strong effort throughout the race when 3rd beaten by 1 1/4L last time at Saratoga and showing consistent performance in races. Jockey Flavien Prat is a bonus. Must be considered. LIFE BOAT (6) 3yo debutant sired by Astern for trainer Ii George R Arnold,. Betting is the best guide. RED SQUARE (15) Faded away to finish 4th last time at Saratoga. Recent form of Wesley A Ward is strong. Will be there at the finish. BAYFRONT (2) Caught the eye when 2nd last run at Colonial Downs and having second race start. Does take a while to get into stride. Right in this.

Back from a break of 26 weeks. Close to a win last run at Gulfstream Park and gets the perfect barrier. Should muster plenty of early toe. Respect the betting.
