Saratoga Race 5 - Critical Eye S. Stakes
LANDED (3) held on well to finish second when first-up from a break last time out over 1811m at Keeneland (Dirt) after leading for much of the way. Rates highly and will be hard to peg back. WALK WITH ME (1) worked to the line steadily over 1609m in stakes class at Aqueduct (Dirt) last time out and finished fourth. Good record at this journey and bold showing expected. BERNIETAKESCHARGE (7) comes here off a break of nine weeks. Scored over 1609m at Aqueduct to launch the last campaign. Comes here with definite top-three claims. VALTELLINA (4) returns after a spell of six months. Looking to emulate her win at Aqueduct when returning from a spell last prep. Definite top-three chance.

Racing well recently. Comes here off a 45-day let-up. Most recently got back early 4th of 7 at Aqueduct in LR on April 19 over 1609m, 10 len behind Bam's Bliss Kiss with 55.5kg at $6.93. The race before that 3rd in a small field at Aqueduct on March 8 over 1609m, 2 len behind Collect The Data carrying 56kg at $20.48. Capable of a better run.
