A Thrilling Thursday at Keeneland

As the Spring meet at Keeneland nears its end this year, we look at two tremendous Turf contests today.

Keeneland Race 8 {Grey Goose Bewitch~G3~1 1/2 mile~Turf~4 year old Up~fillies/mares~Stakes}
A field of superb seven go to the gate in this stakes race.  Changing Skies [IRE] (Desormeaux / Mott) appears to have a slight edge with a decent last out speed number and three sturdy, peaking workouts.  This gal has covered this distance overseas and should like the turf course today.  Lady Shakespeare (J. Velazquez / Attfield) looks good in this one with a decent last out speed number, a three race progression, and two hardy workouts.  Nehantic Kat (Castellano / Tagg) looks fine with a decent last out speed number and three strong, peaking workouts.  Sweet and Flawless (J. Alvarado / Reed) could be the surprise in here as she is proven over this distance, has a three race progression, and two good workouts.  Magical Theatre (Maragh / Arnold) could be the other surprise that could capture a piece of the purse.  She has a four race progression going and a couple of good works.  Let's play Keeneland.

$2 SHOW:  #6 Changing Skies [IRE]
$2 SHOW:  #7 Lady Shakespeare
10 CENT Superfecta:  #6 Changing Skies [IRE] / #7 Lady Shakespeare / #1 Nehantic Kat / #3 Sweet and Flawless, #5 Magical Theatre.

Keeneland Race 9 {1 3/16 mile~Turf~4 year old Up~fillies/mares~Allowance}
Some of the best Turf jockey's will have mounts in another fantastic Keeneland Turf contest.  In this race Dance Pass [IRE] (Gomez / Clement) is the clear favorite and deservedly so.  She has covered this distance and longer overseas.  Dance Pass is coming off a layoff and shows a two race progression.  She has worked wonderfully with three athletic workouts.  Gypsy Baby [IRE] (Graham / Thornbury) could be the surprise in this one with the third highest (tie) speed number on the surface and a good workout in preparation for the race.  Sea Gull (Albarado / Howard) looks great with the third highest last out speed number and the best workout tab; four powerful, peaking workouts.  Flying Spur (Desormeaux / Mott) should compete with a decent last out speed number and three stout workouts.  Flaming Rose (Solis / Coaxtrieaux) will be solid in this event.  She could pull off the victory with the second highest speed number and three fiery workouts.  Let's play the final race at Keeneland today.

$2 SHOW:  #6 Dance Pass [IRE]
$2 SHOW:  #5 Gypsy Baby [IRE]
10 Cent Superfecta:  #6 Dance Pass [IRE] / #5 Gypsy Baby [IRE] / #9 Sea Gull / #8 Flying Spur, #4 Flaming Rose.
