Race 2 Capt. Zippounas He owns the best last-race Beyer Speed Figure and he earned it in his first start here when he ran an even race while finishing fourth to a runaway winner; he hit pretty hard at this level at Presque Isle and the $25K claiming race he won there Sept. 19 produced five next-out winners; looks like a serious contender.   Bill of Rights 4-year-old won a $16K claimer for fun in his first start after being claimed by Maker and since 2009 his new trainer Chris Richard has a 31% strike rate running back newly claimed horses; this guy has now won three of his last four and we can probably forgive him for his only loss in the streak due to the wet track conditions; he'll either be the one they're chasing or sitting just off what should be a moderate pace; the pick.   Rivendell Just a couple of wins for this 5-year-old but the only time he ran in a claiming race he won and it came over this surface; he is coming off a dull effort on the lawn but he's had a decent work since and Lopresti has solid recent stats with horses moving from turf to synthetic; since 2009 he's just 1/9 with horses going from allowance to claiming, however; playable.   Silver Dib He has improved quite a it lately and he narrowly missed to a horse that was winning his fourth straight race in his latest in a first-level allowance race at Presque Isle; horse that finished third in his win two back won a $16K n/w/2 with a 59 Beyer at Presque Isle in his next start; he'll need to continue improving to contend here; prefer others.   Shun Claimed by Maker out of his latest and the past five years he has a 29% strike rate with newly claimed horses; this guy had his winning streak halted in his latest at Kentucky Downs but he got away poorly and after rushing up to press the pace he understandably tired late; he won on Poly at Turfway so he shouldn't mind the surface switch; second start following a layoff could be a good one; contender.   Clement Rock He's won almost a third of his starts but all but one of his races came over turf and he's never raced over a synthetic track; his half-brother Carnacks Choice won here and on the main track at Arlington so he should be okay; no obvious excuses for his dull effort in the same race Shun exits, though, and he hasn't really fired in his three starts since he came back from a two month layoff; no surprise if he's the winner but his stablemate looks more attractive.   English Council Lone 3-year-old in the field has been off since he faded badly in a $30K -$16K optional starter race at Arlington Aug. 25 and since 2009 his trainer is 2/8 with horses coming back between 61-180 days; he romped the only time he ran over Poly but he wasn't beating much in a $12.5K maiden claimer; that was a decent field he ran against in his latest but it looks like he wants to be involved early and he could be up against it with other speed drawn inside of him; prefer others.

By Dan Illman Race 5 Red Roncho Last out graduate moves back to synthetic footing in his first with winners after wiring claimers on the Kentucky Downs lawn; gelding has worked sharply over the local main track for this one and he'll get a solid pilot but he also figures to face early pressure from the bell and that could make it tough for him in the lane; siding against the repeat.   Vanity Feature Field's highest Beyer earner needed better than 7 months on the shelf to recover from that huge maiden score at Turfway and now he'll return to face winners; barn does boast some recent luck off the break and we know that this guy doesn't need to be raced into shape; he's the first foal to race out of a dam who finished second in the local G1 Alcibiades as a juvenile; may be able to outrun these early and have to be caught, but he'll have some added ground to deal with here and with a light worktab showing, the inactivity could catch up with him late; one to run down.   The Crazy Champ Steps up the class ladder in his first start for a barn that does ok with its newly acquired runners; maybe he's tighter late at this trip, but his lone sprint try wasn't much and he isn't working as if he loves the new footing; looking elsewhere for the winner.   Hawaakom Hood comes off for his first start since the winter when he didn't accomplish much going long with winners; sophomore is in against older for the initial time in here and this will also be his first spin over this type of footing; maybe the Lasix helps get him going, but at this trip we'll just watch him.   Rapscallion Tries synthetic footing for the first time while turning back to sprint off a fade at the level on the Belmont lawn; colt did chase a quick clip in that one and he's done better when allowed to control things on the front end, but don't know that he's quick enough to secure such a spot in here.   Mongol Boss Last out graduate loses Rosie while moving back to the footing of his debut placing in the spring; gelding tries winners for the first time today but there is some speed drawn inside of him so maybe he's able to sit a decent tracking spot here and the added half panel shouldn't be a problem; consider.   Star Street Wasn't beaten much after making a late run here in the spring and he did go on to break his maiden against claimers at Churchill next time out; gelding enters this fresh and he boasts regular recent drills but the barn hasn't had a lot of luck both at the stand and with recent runners going from turf to this type of footing.   A Certain Saturday Twice beaten odds on chalk makes his first start in 5 months with a recent gap in his workline; he'll try one turn for the initial time here but he has shown the early foot going long to stay in touch with the pacesetters here and he did fire ok off a shorter freshening second time out; though the lone local spin wasn't much, his price on the board suggests he was in a little tough that day.   Bay Head Outside drawn gelding rallied to beat cheap maiden claimers home in his first local spin and now he'll turn back to face winners; he is in decent form but will likely need to take another big step forward to prove a legitimate threat for the top spot. By Steve Grabowski Race 6 Goose Skywalker She earned a career best Beyer Speed Figure for her latest start when getting the better of a field of 14-12k claimers at Indiana, but this has to be considered a very tough spot for her to step up and take on N1X allowance competition.   Virtual Image Since a couple of encouraging performances to begin her career, she just hasn't been able to get much going, and this isn't a soft spot for her to be making her first start since early June; prefer to look toward others.   Al's Rosie She certainly has a chance to prove to be a useful 35k claim for her current connections, but simply feel that her best effort is short of the mark of what it will take to get the job done in this spot; she looks like more of an outsider.   Kipling's Joy This barn has had kind of a quiet meeting and this filly is probably going to have to find a way to produce a career best performance if she's to see her number posted on top after this one; going to look in another direction.   Neat Package Lightly raced 3-year-old has a good deal of quality to her pedigree and like to see the way that she stepped it up along the Beyer Speed Figure scale since being returned from a layoff in August; feel that she still has plenty of room for improvement and going to respect her as a legitimate player in this spot.   Miss Scout Stakes placed filly is clearly capable of a better performance than what she showed up with in her latest outing and perhaps the soft turf had something to do with that sub par performance; like the idea of her meeting up with N1X rivals after a steady diet of stakes competition.   Kitten's Queen Ramsey-owned filly figures to appreciate getting back over turf after staying in an off-the-turf event in her latest outing, and even though it's a good idea to recognize that Napravnik is aboard another in here, the presence of Hill can be viewed as a positive indicator as he's won with 45 of 141 (32%) mounts for this barn in 2013.   Praia Multiple graded stakes placed filly gets a lot of turf from the bottom of her pedigree, and if she feels like bringing her 'A' game to the table, she'll make one of these have to jump up to beat her; runner up from latest won next out at Bel on 10/14 going 1m over turf in a 200k stakes with a 91 Beyer.   Enchanting Lisa Half-sister to multiple G1 winner Wise Dan (18-26, $5.1 million, including 10 of 11 over turf for $4 million) and multiple graded stakes winner Successful Dan (8-15, 998k, no turf starts) has yet to run a bad race from three starts, and even though she needs to step it up along the Beyer Speed Figure scale to get the job done in this spot, she's an interesting player.   Party Till Dawn Have to respect the improvement that this filly has shown from start-to-start to begin her career, but she was beaten by today's rival Neat Package in her latest outing, and this is an even tougher assignment for her.   Tap Magic Respect the fact that she's been able to get the job done in three of nine turf starts, and that she might be ready to give a good account of herself while making her second start back from a layoff, but this has to be considered a very difficult step up in class for her.   Holiday Drama Like to see the way that her form improved when placed over turf three races ago, and that was a sharp winning performance she recorded in her first start wearing blinkers two races back; third place finisher from latest returned to win next out here on 10/13 going 1 1/2m over turf vs. N1X rivals with an 80 Beyer.   One Wild Kitty Sire wins with approximately 9% of his turf starters and dam won 8 of 52 starts for 183k, including 0-for-3 over turf; she's going to have to take a noticeable step forward in her turf debut in order to have a say in the outcome. By Brian Pochman Race 7 Smittenwithkitten Mirror races since the graduation on grass; at least this rider was aloft for the win though; she has limited speed and could get shuffled if she doesn't come out rolling; a late third the last time in town; would be careful here.   Littlegreatone Totally dismissed on the tote in last and fans were right on the money; she only beat 4 foes and this field is a far cry from whipping Beulah rivals; not seeing.   Confession Came from 5th off a :48 and change pace in the lone win; the splits will be quicker here and she could get lost in the dust; her speed also may have been dulled by the recent routes; look for her late if at all.   Tapit's World Bet like a good thing in both of the small fields; show horse in the August finale cashed next out in an N1X, then was 4th in a $75K stakes; miss has drilled solidly at Churchill with this race in mind; this gal looks live.   Finura Respect barn but this miss is making her synthetic debut and she has zero speed; drill last Sunday should have her on her toes though; in light, needs very best.   Belle Chaussee The good news is she won at this demanding distance; the bad news is she has only been in the money once since; show horse in last cashed next out in a $36K classified allowance with an 85 Beyer; would tread lightly here.   Book Club Proven fresh and the way she was inching away late suggests she'll take to this trip; she was flattered a bit when the winner of last repeated in an N2X here; this rider was up for the win and the blowout on Tuesday was clever; contention goes long.   Street Line Boxcars in every race this year and is looking at the same fate; miss only beat 5 foes in the lone win; and she has not been in the money since; hard to adore today.   Any Given Monday Apparently not much of a work horse, she has to prove it on the synthetic and with her style, things have to break just right; 4th finisher in last took a $30K N2L fray and the 7th finisher took a $7500 N2L at Finger Lakes; look for her late if at all.   Bellinizia Proven here and maybe she just didn't go for the turf; runner that got taken down on 8/21 won next out in a $25K N3L seller, then was crushed in a $30K optional; hooked wide last time, needs to pick it up.   Bear On the Run Finally got there but she was life and death and it's never simple to beat winners right back; the 9/25 winner repeated in an N1X here with an 86 Beyer; not my kind of play.   Sweet On You The fact she won his debut gives her a right to fire fresh; love the spacing of the return drills and the last race came back live as the show horse took an N1X, 5th finisher took a $25K optional, 9th finisher took an N1X and the 12th finisher took a $25K AP starter; look for rider to take a hold, try to save ground, then make a run.   J. L.'s Princess Agile enough to overcome eventful trip to get there in the debut; it's never simple to win vs. winners the first time especially when you graduate in a maiden claimer; could need softer foes to shine.   Miz Minnie Moon Maidens beat winners now and again but it sure doesn't happen every day; she took the overland route in last and could be looking at the same fate if the scratches are kind; rider did get a chance to figure her out; hard to adore. By Brian Mulligan Race 8 Ground Transport Finished last in a key race with his 2nd straight career-low Beyer speed figure; the 5th and 7th-place finishers from last posted 90-80 Beyers in next-out KD-HAW alw. wins; sire is 7-for-44 with 1st-turf starters; dam was unraced producing 3 grass winners from 3 foals to race on the lawn including stakes winner Dynamalt (3-for-21 turf 80K).   Starforce Was claimed off her lowest speed figure since January; best form and 2 of 3 wins on turf but seems to be shooting very high here; the winner from last repeated in an IND-6K claimer with a 70 Beyer; beat the 9th-place finisher a 38 Beyer BEU-5K-claiming next-out winner.   Rocking Hall KEE-Mile turf graduate wokeup in latest when returned to the grass crushing his previous career-best Beyer when racing with 1st blinkers; has not handled wet turf previously which would be the main knock against if the turf is not firm; the 2-back show runner Beyered 84 in his next-out AP-optional claiming win; the runner-up 3 back posted a next-out 79 speed figure AP alw. victory.   Exothermic Back to KEE grass the surface of his career-best Beyer at longer the only race of career racing with Lasix; appeared like he wanted a lot more distance in latest rallying last-to-3rd; the 2-back show runner Beyered 94 in his next-out optional-claiming win; the 3-back runner-up finisher posted a 92 speed figure in his next-out OP optional-claiming triumph on his to 4 in a row including a 108 Beyer in an OP G2.   Saturday Launch Has not raced this short of a distance since a May fade; lacked stamina in an April-KEE turf race the only other time traveling on today's surface; last win was rallying from 8th but was put on the lead in last only to fade; needs a well-timed ride to make any impact.   Cozzetti Last turf race in June suggests 1 Mile would be a good distance for him however lone lawn win was at much longer than this and over less-than-firm green; stakes-placed on IND grass racing this far; he has been at his very best on dirt inclding a career-best Beyer at 9F in the G1 Arkansas Derby.   Love of Flying Lone turf win at longer when narrowly getting up in time noting the 2-back steeplechase event today's 1M seems a bit short; did not fire at all in his last Mile grass race while way off best form in recent losses; 3-back nose loss and career-best speed figure saw him defeat the show runner who Beyered 82 in his next-out GP-30K-claiming win.   Klisz Saturday Launch rematch after defeated by that one at longer than this; a 5-0-0-0 record after commencing career going 3-for-3; his field-best Beyer was posted on SA grass at 1.5F shorter than this but posted an SA-Mile win when stalking the speed nicely; 2 lowest Beyers of career on KEE synthetic so wants this to remain on the green..   Overwhelming October 2012, was the last time sent this short of a distance; faded in most recent race with his lowest Beyer since an April-KEE synthetic surface dull effort; another who wants to keep this one on the green; best Beyer on fast dirt at longer than this; view as a pace presence.   Ft. Deposit Sire is 8-for-70 with 1st-turf starters; 1st foal from the dam who went 1-for-1 on grass (12K) taking a TAM Mile allowance; working well on KEE synthetic so would not mind this washed off the lawn; has not raced longer than 6.5F yet; exits his career-best Beyer when sitting just off the speed and figures to be an early factor here just not sure about hanging on late.   Braveman Compiled a 5-for-5 exacta record for the previous barn but exits a pair of 5th-place finishes for today's conditioner who is 0-for the last-10 with dirt-to-turf starters; class relief off the G3 loss; his lone turf race 2 back was too enticing when middle moving at longer.   Bellarmine Middle-moved 2-back on SAR green he raced well in defeat in his green-career debut; graduated on KEE synthetic so would not mind this moved off grass but his best Beyer was on dirt at longer; the 3-back runner-up finisher Beyered 96 in a next-out FE-500K stakes win.   Leadem in Ken Mile-turf graduate with a career-best Beyer 2nd time off the bench which is the exact scenario for this; stalked the speed in both wins; 2-for-2 on firm turf but showed nothing on wet footing 2 back; mild worktab off the 31-day layoff for a 26%-winning fresh trainer since 2012.   Tilden Lane Races with his lightest-weight assignment ever trying to shake up the form; wet-turf winner would move way up if the grass was not firm for this; since his 4-back career-best Beyer off a long layoff he has not shown anything close to that good form including the 2-back dull effort vs. Saturday Launch. By Art Gropper Race 9 Villandry He's in select company as one of just two in the field who can claim a win over the main track at Keeneland; the other is Winning Cause; stretches back out in distance for his second start off the layoff and note he's a perfect 2-for-2 at this mile and an eighth trip; the question, of course, is class as this will be his first start in both a stakes and in graded company; one of several in the field who can share.   You Know I Know Grade 1-placed runner shakes some of the division's chief players after facing Game On Dude and Mucho Macho Man in his last couple of starts in Southern California; is getting back to a synthetic surface and he fired arguably his best race over such a track, when he put up a career-high Beyer Figure of 100 in the Pacific Classic; win candidate.   Set the Sail He's making the turf to synthetic switch like a handful of these, and he will be seeking his first win over such a surface; has proven quite effective at the mile and an eighth trip, and could be sitting on a peak race here in his third start since June; is a half-brother to Grade 3 winner Blueeyesintherein($205K); can share.   Nikki's Sandcastle He's a three-time stakes winner who has had the bulk of his success on turf; however, he has run well on a synthetic surfaces in the past, and note he was the runner-up in this race a year ago; also exits a strong race; the winner returned in his next start to take a $120K stakes at KD with a Beyer Figure of 95; the fifth-place finisher, Tazz, a $40K optional claimer at AP, with a Beyer of 100; and the sixth-place finisher, Burn the Mortgage, a $62.5K optional claimer at CD, with a Beyer of 92; leading contender.   Ol Army He appears to have more natural speed than some of these, and that might give him a tactical advantage; a question, however, is surface as he has made just one start on a synthetic track, having had the bulk of his success on turf; can share.   Finnegans Wake Grade 1-placed runner is making the turf-to-synthetic move like a number of these and note this will be his first start on such a surface; has been a consistent force in graded company over his last four races, so he has class appeal; he also ran arguably his best race at this mile and an eighth trip; interesting option.   Willcox Inn Grade 2 winner has pushed past $1 million in earnings; the bulk of his bankroll is tied to turf, but he is accomplished on synthetic tracks, too, winning the Grade 3 Washington Park at this mile and an eighth distance two starts ago at AP; also put in a strong bid over the local main track last time when taking on a Shadwell field that included Horse of the Year Wise Dan; choice.   Lea Grade 3 winner stretches back out to a distance over which he has had success in the past; could be somewhat prominent on the move from one turn to two, and his cause is furthered by the fact that there does not appear to be an abundance of pace in this race; is making his synthetic track debut, and has been working regularly at Kee; can share.   Winning Cause Grade 3 winner is the race's horse-for-course with a 3-for-4 record over the main track at Kee; he's one of just two in the field to have a local main track win, the other being Villandry; stretches back out to two turns and looking for him to be much closer to the pace than he found himself last out in a quick Grade 3 Phoenix; contender.
