King: Keeneland horses to watch for week of April 15, 2019

DINAR
Trainer: Cherie DeVaux
Last race: April 13, 11th
Finish: 3rd by 2 1/2
Beyer: 69
Away poorly in his debut, he kicked into gear down the lane, blowing past maiden rivals down the stretch. Trakus timed his last furlong of this six-furlong race in 12.41 seconds, suggesting a stretch-out in distance would likely suit.

NUN THE LESS
Trainer: Cipriano Contreras
Last race: April 13, 7th
Finish: 2nd by 4 1/2
Beyer: 89
Leaping into graded stakes company and shifting to dirt after a victory in the Kentucky Cup Classic on Polytrack at Turfway, he proved he belonged by running second to Bourbon Resolution. He proved a factor despite a slow pace and wide trip that lessened the effectiveness of his rally.

ANOTHERTWISTAFATE
Trainer: Blaine Wright
Last race: April 13, 9th
Finish: 2nd by 1 3/4
Beyer: 95
A speed horse, he was compromised by traffic in the Lexington, which left him boxed in for all but the final 3/16ths of the race. He lost to a horse, Owendale, that got the jump on him when he was stuck in neutral behind tired front-runners.

GENTLE WARRIOR
Trainer: Ian Wilkes
Last race: April 14, 6th
Finish: 2nd by 1 1/2
Beyer: 71
Competing on a day when speed horses fared best under highly windy conditions, he closed from last to grab second in a maiden $50,000 contest. This was easily his best race since he was third in his debut in September at Churchill Downs.

MOTI
Trainer: Tom Amoss
Last race: April 10, 2nd
Finish: 2nd by ¾
Beyer: 52
Although he proved unable to pass the leader down the stretch in this maiden $30,000 race after looming at the head of the lane, he merits attention going forward. He was claimed by winning connections, owner Maggi Moss and trainer Tom Amoss, who will likely have him well spotted next out at either Churchill Downs or Indiana Grand.
