Keeneland Race 4

Maiden Special Weight

Prize Money: $160,116

UP COUNTRY (9) turned in a nice run last time to finish second over 1710m at Turfway Park after being in contention on the bend. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. MONEY MAN (8) is back after a break of three months. At the last run before the layoff he finished eighth over 1609m at Turfway Park (Synthetic). No surprise if he was able to get off the mark. NOMOLIMBO (3) returns after four-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a 12th over 1207m at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Good effort to kick-off last prep when in the money at Churchill Downs over 1609m. Leading player on best figures - bold showing expected. COMMERCE (4) is facing the starter for the first time. By Street Sense and is out of the William I Mott stable. Watch the market closely.
