He Looks Like a Real Keepa

Keepa Dat Cash, a winner of three of his last four, will step up in class in search of his fifth lifetime win in tonight’s eighth race, a $10,000 claimer at 870 yards.

A 6-year-old gelded son of Somekindofmiracle, Keepa Dat Cash debuts for trainer Craig Robertson after being claimed for $4,000 out of a decisive win July 2.

This came less than three weeks after he had defeated $3,200 claimers by three-quarters of a length.

Guillermo Gutierrez, Robertson’s main rider, will be aboard the Oregon-bred for the first time tonight in the field of eight.

One of four quarter horses in the lineup -- along with Adashofred, Coolmore and Expo Express, a winner at 4-1 on June 20 -- Keepa Dat Cash will also face three thoroughbreds in stablemate Flying Fugitive, Equit and Brite Future, and the appaloosa Fair Queen.

The picks: 1. Storm’s Araging. 2. Andalay Pie. 3. Wayne’s Choice. 4. Trippys Royal Dash. 5. Tigermite. 6. Dashing Oliver. 7. Dun Deal. 8. Keepa Dat Cash. 9. Big Mouth.

Four! Storm’s Araging in the first, Andalay Pie, Dashin Hustler and Gilberta in the second, Rah Rah Party, Wayne’s Choice and Ambusher in the third and Trippys Royal Dash, Modem and Curls Girl in the fourth.

Shots in the dark: Strawberry Banks could fire in her first start since April 11 in the fifth. Specialy Angry debuts for high-percentage trainer Concepcion Balderrama in the sixth.

Post time: 6:15 p.m.
