Saratoga Race 9 - Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Oaks Invitational S. Stakes
OPULENT RESTRAINT (1) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third when resuming last start over 1811m in the G1 Belmont Oaks Invitational at this track (Turf). In a suitable race and can play a major role. LAURELIN (6) continued a hot streak of form, winning over 1609m at Listed level at Penn National (Turf) last start to make it four straight. Looks suited by the longer journey and can get the job done again. TOTALLY JUSTIFIED (5) is a talented filly who was well held last time out in the tougher Belmont Oaks Invitational won by Fionn over 1811m at this track, beaten 12 lengths into seventh. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Winning claims on best figures. SIGH NO MORE (2) comes here following a win over 1710m at Monmouth Park six weeks ago, getting home by 1.5 lengths. Significant rider change today. Expected to feature.
