Saratoga Race 10 - Pennine Ridge S. Stakes
ZULU KINGDOM (1) has won five from six and is unbeaten in two runs this campaign, including a victory over the same journey last start. Hard to go past on recent form. MI BAGO (7) lines up on the back of a 1.75 lengths fourth over 1710m at Churchill Downs. Best figures stack-up nicely. NOBLE CONFESSOR (9) finished second, beaten 1.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1609m at Aqueduct (Turf) after he was in the firing line on the corner. Meeting a deeper field this time but he deserves his chance. STATES' RIGHTS (3) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 1609m at Keeneland when coming back from a spell. Stiffer assignment here but is ready for the challenge.
