Saratoga Race 7 - Bolton Landing S. Stakes
GO FOR LAUNCH (2) Made every post a winner when winning by 3/4L last run at Woodbine and having second career run. Shows good early pace. Gets a favourable draw. Respect. SIDE QUEST (3) Won by a big margin of 5 3/4L last time at this venue but competing in a more challenging class. More confidence with jockey Irad Ortiz Jr guiding the horse. Must be considered. LEXI'S CHARM (5) Romped home to win last run here and fitter for debut run. Has a great burst of speed late. Facing stiffer opposition. Up to these. ARMY SALUTE (9) Set the pace when winning by 1/2L last run at Gulfstream Park and fitter for debut run. Expecting to settle positively. Matched against a stronger field. Strong chance.

Shot clear to win by a margin of 5 3/4L last time around here but stepping up to a higher level. Gains the services of jockey Irad Ortiz Jr. Very capable of taking this out.

Showed a clean pair of heels to win by a margin of a head last start here and having second race start. Taking on stronger opponents. Respect the betting.

First up from a break of 10 weeks and applied plenty of pressure when 2nd first up last preparation at Keeneland. Should be going forward early. Others much better.

Dictated the tempo to win by 1/2L last run at Gulfstream Park and was a debutant last start. Should muster plenty of early toe. Competing in a higher grade. One of the punters top hopes at a very generous price.
