Saratoga Race 9 - Personal Ensign S. Stakes
THORPEDO ANNA (7) Was very impressive when winning by 3L last run at Churchill Downs and suited at this distance in the past. Racing against tougher rivals. One of the top hopes. RAGING SEA (3) Hit the line well when 3rd beaten by nearly 14L last time at this venue and strong form at this distance. Has run into the money all attempts this campaign. No shock to see a win. RANDOMIZED (1) Led all the way when winning by 3L last start at Monmouth Park and hard to fault at the trip. Should muster plenty of early speed. Looks to be value. DORTH VADER (4) Struggled with the pace when 4th last time at Monmouth Park and up against a higher level of opposition. Would like to see betting push before considering.
