Saratoga Race 3 - Mount Vernon S. Stakes
MIDNIGHT CONCERTO (7) brings the best last-start figure after winning at Aqueduct over 1710m by 2L, settling back before surging late, and looks the one to beat. NATIONAL ARCHIVE (6) was 3rd in the same race, beaten 2.8L after racing handy, and has prior wins at Saratoga and Aqueduct to measure up. FIVE G (4) can bounce back dropping from a tough Stakes run at Oaklawn; she led and dominated two back at Gulfstream over 1609m. BEING BETTY (5) is a last-start Aqueduct winner at 1609m and has been in the money in three of her past four, making her a key chance if the pace suits.
