11/2

Smart gelding. C&D winner. Didn't need to improve to win 11-runner Grade 3 Turf Sprint Stakes at Kentucky Downs (6f, soft, 30/10) 56 days ago by neck from Bombard. Bold bid likely.

Forecasts

Leinster (7/2), Imprimis (11/2), Oleksandra (7/1), Got Stormy (7/1), Big Runnuer (7/1), Glass Slippers (8/1), Front Run The Fed (12/1), Chaos Theory (15/1), Extravagant Kid (20/1), Bombard (20/1), Wildman Jack (20/1), Wet Your Whistle (25/1), Into Mystic (25/1), Texas Wedge (28/1), Bulletproof One (30/1), Archidust (30/1), Equilateral (30/1), Just Might (33/1)

BIG RUNNUER is unbeaten this year at Santa Anita and took a big leap forward when winning a Grade 2 from Wildman Jack 6 weeks ago. At the current odds he looks a cracking bet. Glass Slippers is a big player for Britain, while Imprimis is one of several who know where the Keeneland winning post is and seems sure to go well.
