Peck: Keeneland pick four for Saturday, Oct. 15

The late pick four features the Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup, a very interesting betting race, but the surrounding races are also intriguing.

RACE 7: ALLIED AIR RAID undoubtedly benefited from the race flow in his latest, but he has worked very well in the interim and should get at least a little help in this one as well. CAMMACK has won six straight and is eligible to extend that streak here, as his Beyer Speed Figures fit well, and his tactical speed and inside post should translate into another good trip.

RACE 8: SHREWD MOVE was far back on the wire in his latest but had a tough time there, rushing up to make the lead in an ill-advised middle move given the race flow; his back figures are plenty good enough. SQUADRON has a good late kick and competitive Beyers. YOCKEY'S WARRIOR didn't run his best race in his latest on turf, but he clearly has a license to turn things around on the return to the main track.

RACE 9: The Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup came up very tough, with just about any of them capable with the right kind of trip and/or setup. I'll use CATCH A GLIMPSE but hope she faces at least a little pressure on the lead to set up a stalker like HAWKSMOOR, who seems to have some tactical speed. TIME AND MOTION was game to beat Catch a Glimpse last time and of course merits a long look.

RACE 10: Like the works on KEEP TALKING, who debuts for trainer Tom Proctor. HURRICANE FORCE is from the barn of Wesley Ward and also has works that suggest ability. But the Mark Casse-trained TAKEOFF warrants a look based on his breezes, with ROCKSHAW and DILETTANTE seemingly best of those runners to have raced.

THE PLAY: 1, 7 / 1, 7, 9 / 1, 5, 7 / 4, 6, 8, 9, 11 = 90 combinations ($45 ticket)
