Track: Good 4 Weather: Cloudy

Stacked field. Hard to knock ElCastello who is looking for five in a row. Flying and just needs luck from the draw. Red Aces will enjoy the rise in trip and got there just in time last start. Looks well placed in this field and maps for a lovely run.  Keeneland has good upside and only needs things to go right from the draw to take beating. King Of Thunder maps well and has J-Mac in the saddle. This race suits.

1. El Castello (18)

Have to have him on top despite the draw. He hasn’t put a foot wrong this prep. Wide draw and query at the trip but just absolutely flying and can win again.

2. Red Aces (4)

Landed in time aided by a great ride. Suited up in trip and is one of the major players.

3. Keeneland (11)

Still has good upside but find it tough to catch the jockey and stable. Good enough to win.

4. Goldrush Guru (15)

Form is just fair for this but winning machine who is ready to take on a deeper race.

5. Saint Emilion (6)

Racing well and proven at the trip. Maps for a good run and this race is within reach.

6. Kingofwallstreet (10)

Can’t have.

7. Politely Dun (5)

Has a few lengths to find on Red Aces. Can’t have.

8. King Of Thunder (1)

Narrowly denied by Red Aces and expect there won’t be much between them again. Live chance.

9. Tenbury Wells (14)

Can’t have.

10. Peru (2)

Prefer others.

11. China Sea (7)

This looks too tough.

12. Hot Too Go (13)

Can’t have.

13. Scary (8)

Prefer others.

14. Oxford Blue (16)

Leaning to others.
