Saratoga Race 2 - Bouwerie S. Stakes
GALINDA (5) sets the standard after winning at Aqueduct over 1408m last start, having earlier beaten this trip in a stakes by 9.3L and only just missed over 1609m behind VICTORY HALL (3). PINKY BRIER (2) was runner-up to Galinda over 1408m on April 19 and had a dominant 1207m win prior, so rates a key danger with blinkers on. Victory Hall (3) brings strong credentials with a stakes win over 1609m two back and a 1408m stakes placing before that. HOT CURRENCY (7) thrashed a small field over 1308m last time and was 2nd to Pinky Brier in January; in the mix back up to 1408m. VENETTA (1) and IRISH LULLABY (4) both come off maiden wins at 1207m and rise in grade.
