Sunday's Best Bet: Play Action Pass goes long in Bourbon

Sunday’s 10th race from Keeneland is the Grade 2 Bourbon Stakes for two-year-olds traveling a mile and a sixteenth on the turf course (Post Time 5:46 p.m. EDT).

#14 PLAY ACTION PASS (10-1) stalked slow fractions and graduated in a turf route second time out, and he battled through strong splits and was best of the rest in 3rd in a Kentucky Downs stakes race last time. He drew a tough post but clearly has some ability. Dam has produced four turf winners and two stakes winners including Laura’s Light.

#12 Tiz the Bomb (3-1) exits back-to-back wins at one mile including a fine stakes score from off the pace at Kentucky Downs Sept. 6. He sports a pair of local bullets for this for the productive Hernandez Jr./McPeek team.

#11 Heaven Street (8-1) broke on top early, backed off behind an aggressive pair, and pushed to the front and took over in an easy flat mile turf tally at Kentucky Downs Sept. 6. His early-pressing versatility should serve him well in this spot.

#2 Stolen Base (10-1) might work out a decent inner trip behind the speed under sharp turf rider Flavien Prat. He stalked and scored in his dirt sprint bow, finished up the track in the Saratoga Special (G2), and finished a solid 2nd from the outside post in a turf route at Kentucky Downs.

#10 Red Danger (7-2) stalked the pace and captured his last two turf sprints including a stakes score at Kentucky Downs Sept. 9.
