Saratoga Race 10 - Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Oaks Stakes
KENTUCKY BELLE (1) First up today. Reeled them in to win last start at Keeneland and good career start. Shows very good finishing speed. Jockey Irad Ortiz Jr rates highly. Can measure up to this company. BLESS HER (4) Stormed home to win last time at Colonial Downs and getting better in recent performances. Should be swooping on the field late. Up against a higher level of opposition. Has the ability to take this out. IMAGINATIONTHELADY (5) Looked outclassed when 6th last time at this track but taking on a lower class of opponents. Will be positive in the run early. Each way all day. FITZ RIGHT (2) Showed a good turn of foot when 3rd last time at this track and challenged by less formidable competitors. Should be going forward early. Jockey Flavien Prat is a bonus. One for the trifectas and first fours in this race.

Finished with intent when 3rd last time around here and up against weaker rivals. Shows good early pace. Has run into the money at every start this campaign. Modest contender.

Put in a competitive run when placing 3rd last time at the track and solid career start. First start for a new trainer but racing in stronger company. Big improvement required to threaten these.

Rounded them up to win last time at Colonial Downs but facing a stronger group of contenders. Has a nice turn of foot. Displaying improvement over the past few runs. Has definite claims.

Jumped at $7.00 and couldn't stay in touch when 6th last time at this venue but up against a less challenging field. Won't be far away during the run. Win will not surprise.

Improved to place when 2nd beaten by 1 3/4L last start here and competing at a lower class. Finishes off strongly. Very competitive this preparation. Marginal chance.

Was $11.00 and mediocre performance when 7th last time at this venue and competing in a higher grade. Dylan Davis and Chad C Brown are an imposing duo. Has to have a lot go its way.

Ran on hard when winning last time at Aqueduct and having second race start. Manuel Franco usually performs well for this stable. Will find this tough.
