It's closing day of the FanDuel Meet at Kentucky Downs, and the Paulick Report is ahead of it with another Longshot Look video segment.

Bloodstock editor Joe Nevills steps in with an attempt to end the season on a high note, singling out a price play with his reasoning for what makes the horse worth a look when they might go overlooked.

Nevills turns his attention to Race 4 on Sunday's card, a seven-furlong allowance for fillies over Kentucky Downs' unique turf course. His pick showed some real flashes of turf ability in her most recent start, and she has the class to build upon it in her toughest test to date.

Kentucky Downs' 2021 meet takes place Sept. 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, and 12. First post each day is at 12:20 p.m. Central.
