At a Price, Reade Filly Looks Appealing
When last seen, Solid Appeal (8-1) was middle-moving while wide on the turn before tiring in the G2 Mrs. Revere, beaten less than four lengths by Centre Court,. The Revere turned out to be a key race and Center Court turned out to be a dual stakes winner at 4 in as many starts this year.
Today's featured eighth race at Keelenad is as open as they come but this looks like the proper spot for this filly's 4-year-old debut .She has tactical speed, kick, and attracts the meet's leading rider, Joel Rosario.
Taking Solid Appeal to win at 5-1 or greater and keying her in multiples with Lily The Pink (10-1) and English Class (6-1).

Lopresti’s Success Story
Tried my hardest to beat the fastest horse on the Equiform scale, Successful Dan (8-5), in today's featured G3 Ben Ali at Keeneland. But fast figures notwithstanding, the rest of the data is compelling, too. He's 4-for-4 at Keeneland, wins fresh, for Lopresti, a man who is a profitable 27% in that scenario as well, and retains regular rider Julien Leparoux, in the midst of a very good meet.
Besides, Richard's Kid (5-2) appears to have a lost a step and Boisterous (3-1), for all his talent and connections [Shug], never has run on Polytrack.
Compelled to take Successful Dan, no price restrictions, and taking the slow but extremely sharp, surface loving Son of a General (20-1) to finish in the money.

This Lady Shaves
Doubtless there are a few Derby aspirants hoping that the 20-point win total will be enough to crack the starting gate. Could it be that the filly Pure Fun (7-2) is among them? Her lifetime best figure came at CD at 2, it should be noted.
When last seen she had no chance trying to make up ground on a badly cupping out Turfway surface that allowed speed types to keep going. This filly made a strong run but had too much to do. There are some nice colts here but this is a talented filly with excellent figures on the Equiform scale.
Taking Pure Fun to win at 3-1 or greater and key boxing her in exactas with Cerro (5-1) and Winning Cause (5-1).
