Keeneland Race 9

Post Time 4:16 PM CST
Analysis by Emily Gullikson

VALLEY VIEW (G2):

A competitive race with a lot of quality sophomore fillies top to bottom. The depth should see #5 KALISPERA fly under the radar one that has form to fit in today's race with upside returning to a flat mile. She turned in a BTL/B effort in the Pucker Up (G3) following an "every other" improvement pattern. 

B. Walsh has sent out live runners all meet and could hold another with #1 OPERA MUNDI making her local debut. She comes into this graded stakes event with a progressive, steady worktab from Turfway where the barn has stabled and shipped in this meet. 

#3 MEMORIALIZE presents upside and intent with the connections picking this graded stakes race to make her belated return. This marks her first start of the sophomore season and reasonable to project upside and improvement with maturity from her progressive juvenile campaign.
