Saratoga Race 6 - Race 6 - Mdn Special Weight
SHELZAWA (8) resumes from a spell of four months after two solid runs during the maiden campaign, the latest a second over 1900m at Deauville All Weather. Sure to have improved over the spell and can open winning account. DEFERENCE (3) was thereabouts last time out when second at Aqueduct Turf (Turf) over 1609m, beaten 1.3 lengths. That run should have her rock-hard fit now. Nice alley and should run well. SECRETLY DELIGHTED (4) finished 0.8 lengths from the winner in second on debut over 1609m at Kentucky (Turf) on August 30 and has not appeared since. Sure to have improved so she is among the winning hopes. NEW ROSE (10) was fair on debut last start when sixth over 1106m at Keeneland Turf (Turf). Tackles a longer journey this time. Winning claims.
