Saratoga Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Special Weight
SHELZAWA (6) returned last time with a solid third at Saratoga Inner Turf (Turf) over 1710m. Likely improver with bright prospects. MOONLIT (11) resumes from a spell of nine weeks. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Hard to beat if back in good order as anticipated. BOURBON MILK PUNCH (10) should run fitter after turning in a fair race when resuming over 1106m at this track (Turf). With the run under her belt the extra ground looks a plus and is among the winning hopes. SECRETLY DELIGHTED (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1710m at Saratoga Inner Turf, beaten 2.25 lengths. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts.
