Keeneland Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Special Weight
DEEP FLAME (4) finished 6 lengths from the winner in second on debut last start over 1207m at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Sure to take a lot from that hitout so a big run is anticipated. ACCOST (8) is back after a break of seven months. At the last run before the layoff he finished fourth over 1408m at Saratoga (Dirt). Rates highly and is a strong chance to break through. GIVETHEDEVILHISDUE (6) has filled a minor placing at both runs to date, the latest when beaten 4 lengths into second over 1609m at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Should camp just off the leaders. One to consider. GILDED BANDIT (7) debuted five weeks ago when he finished fourth over 1207m at Gulfstream Park (Dirt), beaten 3 lengths. Fitter and with blinkers applied he makes plenty of appeal.
