Some notes for KEE P6 Weds...

R6: Read the clocker's comments on #2, Sky Mission. John Ward is a master at getting nothing out of something but this homebred might be something even he can't screw up, and Prado hops on. #6 Butler Rock "Speedy gate move while being roused in the stretch", Graham/Fox is an excellent longshot connection and this one should be ready first out, especially with that pedigree. #7 Bayrod had an absolute nightmare trip first out, ran up and nearly clipped heels twice, and got sent into the rail on the turn. Form says "steadied" but I'd call it more like "nearly pulled up". Worth another look. #8 Nafzger/Borel/Tafel always worth a 2nd look but this one has NO talent. #12 Full Charge worked in company with Visionaire and got his doors blown off by that one. Would think he's worth excluding here, despite coming out of a key SAR MSW.

R7 #4 Closeout is an absolute standout. It isn't fun singling in a 12 horse field, but watch the replay of her debut; walks out of the gate and spots them 15 lengths, and still blows them away.

R8 #6 Korbyn Gold looks tough but I'm also using #1 Last Gran Standing, clockers are all over this one with "best work of day" comments. Looks like Korbyn's only competition if he's ready, and it sounds like he is. Werner's horse looks tough but I don't think he's fast enough at 6 1/2.
