Keeneland Race 7 - Stoll Keenon Ogden Phoenix S. Stakes

VERIFIRE (4) scored by 2.25 lengths last start in Listed grade at Colonial Downs (Dirt) over 1408m after he was in the firing line on the corner. Has a very strong record at this journey, scoring on three occasions from four starts. Goes up a notch this time but he is likely to feature. HYMN (8) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 0.8 lengths over 1408m in the G1 Forego Stakes at Saratoga (Dirt). That continued the good form this campaign, with four wins and two minor placings from 10 starts. Sure to go well again. NAKATOMI (10) was in the market first up but could only manage fourth over 1207m at Saratoga (Dirt) last start. Races well when second-up. Sound record at this distance with three wins and 10 minor placings from 18 runs and is expected to run well. LITTLE THUNDER (3) did well to score by a nose first-up in a weaker race last start over 1207m at Saratoga (Dirt). Yet to be beaten at this trip from two starts and cannot be ruled out. Something for the Multiples: BOOTH (2)

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 34-day let-up. Most recently made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 7 in Listed grade at Gulfstream Park at Gulfstream Park on August 29 over 1408m, 1.0 len behind To The Eastside with 55.5kg at $4.10. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a 0.3 len at Gulfstream Park on August 3 over 1308m defeating Wistucky carrying 56kg at $4.40. Genuine chance on the back of the last effort.
