Keeneland Race 7

Lafayette S. Stakes

Stake: $702,876

ROLANDO (8) Reeled them in to win last start at Gulfstream Park. Can't knock the form winning 2 in succession. Should muster plenty of early speed. Well placed and has solid claims. GUNMETAL (1) First up today. Tidy effort when 3rd last time at Gulfstream Park and has drawn to do little work. Gains the services of jockey Flavien Prat. Should go close. ONE TRUE SHANCE (7) Led from start to finish to win by 1/2L last time at Fair Grounds and promising career start. Unbeaten last 2 starts. Will be around the mark at odds. COLLOQUIAL (2) Won easily by 7L last time at Aqueduct and drawn nicely. Always seems to find the line well. Has scope so do not ignore.
