Saratoga Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Special Weight
JUNEAU (8) ran well on debut last start to finish second over 905m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) in a tougher race. Sure to take a lot from that hitout so she will prove tough to beat. R KAN'T MISS (6) is a well-related two-year-old filly lining up for the first time. By Kantharos from Wicked Storm who has produced some fine gallopers, including winners at black type level. Hails from the strong juvenile stable of Saffie A Joseph (Jnr). Promising type who is one to keep a close eye on in betting. LEXI'S CHARM (5) is a two-year-old filly on debut by Lexitonian from Stormy Allure who has been a prolific producer including winners at black type level. Promising type who is worth considering if popular in betting. DENOS GRACE (10) didn't do a lot on debut four weeks ago, finishing 11 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1006m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Open to plenty of improvement. Can improve.

Was well in the market at debut, 2nd of 8 at Churchill Downs on June 13 over 905m, 2.75 len behind Belleza Latina with 54kg at $4.98. Sure to take a lot from that experience and makes plenty of appeal.
