Keeneland

A tricky puzzle with some key runners making their reappearance, including Breeders' Cup Distaff fourth Clicquot whose best form has come over further. By contrast, smart sprinter Praying has to prove her stamina. Eclatant has been a little inconsistent but comes here in sharp form, whereas the front-running R Disaster and Ragtime (second preference) seem more dependable. GRAND JOB, however, has the fewest questions to answer and is improving. She was impressive at Gulfstream last time and there could be more to come on dirt from this ex-Irish mare, considering she is lightly raced and unexposed at this distance. [James Willoughby]
