Wednesday has an 8 race card that is quite competitive. The feature 7th race is a tough Allowance on the grass that could prove to boost the exotic wagers.
1st Race
#7 Jubilant Joanie is first off the claim for the Amoss barn. Barn is very effective with this type. #9 Stage Bell is making a significant drop in class and moves from the turf to the main track. She is also backing up in distance and expect her sharp for this one. #10 Imperator Furiosa is making her 2nd career start and is on the drop. Top Picks #7, #9 and #10
2nd Race
#5 The Distractor is 2nd off the layoff and brings very consistent form. He should be sharp for this one. #8 Tee Burns is another consistent sort that is a distance specialist. He is first off the claim for the Hartman barn which is quite successful with this type. #9 Pure Panic is looking for softer company off his last 2 races. Top Picks #5, #8 and #9
3rd Race
#8 I Feel the Need is coming in fresh off a short vacation. She's landed in a spot where her form suggest she can be very competitive. #1 East Shore can boast the best last Beyer Speed figure and he is proven at this distance. #7 Windy Bay is the early 8-5 favorite and expect her to show up tough. Top Picks #8, #1 and #7
4th Race
#1 Spicy Italian broke her maiden 2 back and tried Allowance company on the grass last out. Back on the main track and with a bit softer company look for her to be very sharp with these. #4 Sandra D will be bringing the early speed and form suggests she can stay on for part. #5 Thestral ran a big race last time to get beat by a nose. She's might bounce a bit off that one but do expect her to get up for part. Top Picks #1, #4 and #5
5th Race
#6 Justifreak brings a sharp work tab for his first start. Well bred colt looks like he could get it done at first asking. #9 It'smyluckytime is another well prepared first time starter. Top connections bring this one over. #11 Air of Defiance has the experience edge over the top 2 with a race under his belt. Another well bred colt with top connections. Top Picks #6, #9 and #11
6th Race
#4 Punchbowl looks to be the one to beat here. She is first off the summer vacation and do note she finished 2nd in the Grade 1 Ashland last spring. #5 Skratch Kat is 2nd off the layoff and adds blinkers this time out. She's a Graded Stakes placed runner and could be tough here. #1 Insignia has been to the races 5 times and hasn't missed a check. She's 3rd off the layoff and could pull off the upset. Top Picks #4, #5 and #1
7th Race
#4 Our Dotsie is stretching out off her previous starts and look for this Oscar Performance filly to excel at this distance on the grass. Saez lands in the saddle and like her for the win at a decent price. #5 Hola Gata broke her maiden last out and looks to be finding her best stride. This distance on the grass should suit her. #10 Beach Walkn is 2nd off the layoff and has a home track advantage. Top Picks #4, #5 and #10
8th Race
#7 Knicks Storm brings a sharp work tab for his first start. He is out of a Spieghtstown mare so believe he will be precocious at this 6 furlong distance. He trains here at Keeneland and expect a big effort. #6 Catalina Crush has an experience edge over most of these with 2 races under his belt. He could put things together and show up sharp. #2 Runnin Munnin tried this level last out in his debut and finished a respectable 4th. Look for him to improve. Top Picks #7, #6 and #2
