9th-KEE, $67,784, Alw, 10-27, (NW2$X), 3yo/up, f/m, 1mT, 1:39.25, fm. BURMA ROAD (f, 4, Street Boss--Shawgatny, by Danzig Connection) has not finished worse than fourth in her 14 career starts including breaking her maiden on the local turf course a year ago.  She tried to take the field wire-to-wire in her latest at Churchill Downs Sept. 30, but faded to third in the late stages. The 3-1 shot showed early speed from the gate and led the field into the first turn, clocking unpressured early splits of :24.76, :48.89 and 1:15.24. Burma Road expanded her lead into the far turn and held off the late challenge of Proud Reunion (Proud Citizen) to win the day's feature by a nose. Burma Road is a half to Winter Book (Any Given Saturday), MSW, $148,299; and Motor City (Street Sense), GSW, $172,076. Lifetime Record: 15-3-4-4, $194,075.
