Keeneland Race 7 - Perryville S. Stakes
DEEP FLAME (12) is a progressive type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Put together two wins on the run before finishing in the minors last time when second in the G1 H Allen Jerkens Memorial Stakes at Saratoga (Dirt). Rates strongly and expected to go close. CHIEF WALLABEE (3) met with solid support last start over 1609m at Belmont Park (Dirt) when second, beaten 2.75 lengths. Tougher assignment this time but he is right in this. DOUBLECENTS (10) scored last start at Listed level at Churchill Downs (Dirt) to make it three wins and two placings from six starts this campaign. Should be prominent despite the awkward gate. Winning claims on best figures. OBLITERATION (11) has been freshened up since he finished sixth over 1308m in the G2 Franklin-Simpson Stakes at Kentucky (Turf) five-and-a-half weeks ago. Should park just off the speed. Don't underestimate. Something for the Multiples: SOLITUDE DUDE (1)

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 50-day let-up. Most recently 4th of 7 at Listed level at Charles Town at Charles Town on August 28 over 1408m, 8 len behind Bravaro with 54kg at $1.60. Before that set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 7 in the G2 Amsterdam Stakes at Saratoga on July 31 over 1308m, nose behind Local Knowledge with 55.5kg at $7.45. Drawn to advantage and looks a solid chance.
