1st) AFLEET’S SECRET finished third behind multiple fall meet winner Ordination, at Keeneland, on October 10. Jockey John McKee used him five-wide and the gelding flattened out in the stretch. With a more patient ride the Joseph Cheeks trainee gets the candy today.

3rd) OPEN OUTCRY runs back in a claimer after finishing third to Successful Dan in a “three other than” allowance on opening weekend. The son of Street Cry probably need that race and this looks like a good spot for him to run his best.

5th) MEDIA CONTACT has been working in fine fashion ever since he arrived at Keeneland from his Chicago base. He takes a little dip in class and trainer Wayne Catalano adds blinkers in the hopes of getting his charge to focus a bit more. Look for a big effort.

9th) FLAT CHANCE has run four races on synthetic racetracks and owns two wins and two places. He attracts the services of leading rider Julien Leparoux in this bottom level claimer and that speaks volumes for his chances.
