Saratoga Race 12 - Race 12 - Maiden Claiming
VIA VENETO (10) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 4 lengths from the winner in seventh at this track (Turf) over 1710m. Anticipating sharp improvement with the run under the belt. KEY ACTRESS (2) finished second last time out over 1710m at this track (Turf), making it two career minor placings. Has been in the frame at all two runs over this trip. Has the pace and the right draw to find a good early position. Will prove tough to beat. CHANNEL CHECK (1) returned from a spell three-and-a-half weeks ago when she was beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth over 1710m at this track. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. BOURBON MILK PUNCH (4) was in contention on the bend and finished second last start over 1609m at this track (Turf), beaten 1.75 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects.
