Saratoga Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Special Weight

CONNECT THE STARS (8) was out of the money first up but has since been on the money on two consecutive occasions, the latest when second over 1710m at this track (Turf). Hard to beat. ALWAYS READY (1) resumed from a spell last start with a sound third over 1106m at this track (Dirt) after being in contention on the bend. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SHE FEELS STUNNING (2) is a two-year-old filly facing the starter for the first time. From an elite family that includes a G1 victor, being by American Pharoah from Summer Sweet. Has fared well at the barrier draw and is certainly worth considering. CONCURRENTLY (7) is appearing for the first time. By American Pharoah and comes from the Chad C Brown stable. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves.
