Saratoga Race 7 - Belmont Oaks S. Stakes (G1)
ABASHIRI (8) is coming off a last-start third, beaten 3 lengths, over 1609m at Curragh. Profiles nicely. FAITHFUL DEPARTED (4) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 1811m in the G3 Regret Stakes at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf), getting home by 2.25 lengths. Meeting a deeper field this time but she is good enough to play a major role. FITZ RIGHT (6) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by one length over 1710m in the G2 Wonder Again Stakes at this track (Turf). Taking on a better line-up this time but she has the ability to mix it with them. IMAGINATIONTHELADY (10) is back at the races for the first time since May 1. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1609m at Keeneland Turf. Can make her presence felt.
