Saratoga Race 4 - Bed O' Roses S. Presented By Boldyn Networks Stakes
WAYS AND MEANS (3) finished second behind R Disaster in the G1 Derby City Distaff Stakes at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over this distance when resuming from a spell last time out. Yet to miss the placings here in an excellent record which boasts four wins and one placing. Well placed and should be in the finish. GRAND JOB (1) was in contention on the turn and finished 0.1 lengths from the winner in second when resuming last start in the G1 Madison Stakes at Keeneland (Dirt) over this distance. Has never been out of the money in three starts at this trip, including two wins. Easier assignment this time. Best form puts her right in this. PRAYING (5) is third up today. Turned in a better run last time when third, beaten 2.25 lengths, in the G3 Vagrancy Handicap at Aqueduct (Dirt) over 1308m. Can go on to take this out. SENZA PAROLE (4) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1710m at Keeneland, beaten just one length. I Ortiz Jr gets the best out of this four-year-old filly. Nicely placed to maintain the form.

Comes here off a 35-day let-up. Most recently ran last of 10 at Churchill Downs in the G1 La Troienne Stakes on May 1 over 1710m, 15 len behind Shred The Gnar with 56kg at $11.22. The start before that won by 1.75 len at Aqueduct LR March 29 over 1811m defeating Snowyte carrying 55kg at $2.58. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up 4th of 8 at Keeneland in the G1 Madison Stakes on April 4 over 1408m, 10 len behind Eclatant with 56kg at $26.77. Second run from a spell 3rd in a small field at Aqueduct in the G3 Vagrancy Handicap on May 3 over 1308m, 2.25 len behind Grammy Girl with 56kg at $6.41. Capable of a strong showing.
