Keke

Trainer E Lynam, operating from a small but productive yard at Dunshaughlin in County Meath, has Keke as a solid contributor to a season that has already yielded 5 winners. The horse shows a clear affinity for Naas, where it has won 2 of its 4 races — that's a 50% record at the track, marking it out as a course specialist in the truest sense. Keke's most recent victory came at Naas on 4 July, seven weeks ago, which means the horse is battle-hardened and active rather than a dusty veteran waiting for another chance. Recent form has been inconsistent, with placings in three of the last six races but also a pair of fourth-place finishes that suggest the horse is running in decent races without quite landing the knockout blow. With one race just yesterday, Keke remains a regular competitor, and at six years old it still has racing years ahead if the form holds.
