Saratoga Race 6 - Bed O' Roses S. Stakes
WAYS AND MEANS (3) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third when resuming last start over 1408m in the G1 Derby City Distaff Stakes at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. JODY'S PRIDE (4) returned from a break last start and raced on the speed before kicking strongly to score by 0.8 lengths over 1609m in the G2 Ruffian Handicap at Aqueduct (Dirt). Will be tough to rein in again. SCYLLA (2) opened this prep last start with a fourth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1408m at Churchill Downs. Usually races well second-up so can improve on her effort when resuming. Hard to knock. MISS JUSTIFY (6) did a good job to salute by 4 lengths first-up in a weaker race last start over 1308m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Will be better for that latest run and appeals as a solid top-three hope.
