Saratoga Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Special Weight
SOARING SPIRIT (7) ran well on debut last start to finish second over 1710m at Aqueduct Turf (Turf) in a tougher race. Likely improver so she shouldn't be a maiden for long. PELICAN PRIDE (8) came home strongly last start to finish third, beaten half a length, over 1710m at Aqueduct Turf on debut. Among the leading chances. AMAZING GRACER (10) is a four-start maiden who returned last time and finished fourth at Aqueduct Turf (Turf) over 1710m, beaten one length. Should progress from that last outing and poses a genuine threat. NEW YORK SPECIAL (2) was well fancied on debut last start and was not far off the mark, finishing second and beaten 2 lengths over 1408m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Has ability and worth including.

Four-year-old filly by Ghostzapper out of Front And Center on debut. Might need the run.
