* REPLACE WITH: Horse #1 - Manny Wah

 
COMMENTS: NASHVILLE is undefeated in two at Keeneland and is coming off a win with the highest last race speed figure. SOUTH BEND is another that likes Keeneland with two wins in two races. SIR ALFRED JAMES won his last despite traffic problems. ENDORSED should be at his best in the third start after a layoff.

COMMENTS:  SPENDARELLA is undefeated in two including the highest last race speed figure. DOLCE ZEL won her first US race and should be better in her second US start. KNEENSNHIPS won her last and will likely move forward in her second start off the sidelines. SKIMS won two in a row and has two bullet works since.

COMMENTS: SMILE HAPPY has only lost to EPICENTER and was the favorite to win that race. RATTLE N ROLL will be coming late and won his only start at Keeneland. ZANDON had a tough start in his last and will look for a cleaner trip here. EMMANUEL won his first two races easily before an awkward tip in the Fountain of Youth.
