KEE Race #3 6f Dirt Stake
Purse $200.000 For Fillies Two Years Old.

1 Lunar State Alydar Stables Velazquez J R 124 —

It’s a lot to ask a two-year-old to carry 124Lbs and give weight to other juveniles but this big framed filly looks capable of handling the burden and gets a decent draw to do it from four runs and no worse than second, she earned her penalty in the PID Debutante last time with a game win and she has certainly shown a great attitude in all her races so far. Has her work cut out but is sure to be right there at the end.

2 Bible Williams9 Prat F 122 —

The stable’s juveniles have been flying and whilst this one hasn’t shown the ability of some in the yard, she has to be respected. A winner over this trip at SAR last time, she has improved with each race and has a great gate to keep that improvement going.

3 Sassy Pancake D J C Racing Stables Hernandez R M 122 —

Gets her chance here after an impressive maiden win at PID last time earning a decent SRF score in the process. The extra half furlong will suit, and I would expect her to be coming at them late.

4 A Summer Moment Maletto Baird E T 122 —

Did well enough in the Lady Finger last time to suggest she can handle this company but that was her first glimmer of form after her game maiden win at the free track. She is in it for sure but has a sticky gate to find a position from.

5 Wings Sim Speed Stable Lopez P 122 —

A consistent sort claimed recently for $25.000 she gets her chance to pay that investment back quickly today. Close up in a couple of ungraded stakes already she wouldn’t have to improve much to be a winning chance.

6 Chilukki Pan Farms Centeno D E 122 —

Bought for $337.000 from the Fractious fire sale she certainly looked the business in her maiden win and subsequent works, but a difficult gate won’t help her chances, and she will have to improve just a little on her game maiden win. That win came in wet conditions and it is possible she was hating it so that win may turn out to be better than a quarter length victory in hindsight. Looks the one to beat here and should start favorite.

7 Shericka Winning Link Stables Corrales G 122 —

Won her first two races and then ran a close and game fourth in the Generous Portion Stakes. There are horses in this game that the draw monster seems to consistently hate, and this seems to be one of them with her fourth tough draw in her fourth start. She should certainly be used to it by now though and is working like she has come on for that run, I guess it’s down to the race engine as to how she travels through this race but if all things were equal, she would be a winning chance.

SUMMARY

An interesting race with possibly the two best chances drawn in the outside two gates. That may not make a difference but if the odds monkeys are generous then it may pay to take prices on the inside two.
