Saratoga Race 12 - Race 12 - Mdn Special Weight
APERITIF (2) should be peaking now after finishing third over 1207m at Aqueduct Turf (Turf) last time at the third run of the campaign. Bold showing expected with the blinkers added. RED VELVET CAKE (4) returns after eight months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a seventh over 1308m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Ready to find winning form. DAYLIGHT DREAMER (7) ran below expectations last time at Aqueduct Turf (Turf), finishing 11th and beaten 13 lengths starting at $5.44. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders. MY LIL ARMY GIRL (8) last appeared four weeks ago over 1207m at Aqueduct Inner Turf when she finished second. This is her first run for the Horacio Depaz stable. Has found the right race and is worth including.

At debut, ran last of 12 at Aqueduct Turf on June 21 over 1207m, 17 len behind Moonlight Ready carrying 55kg at $16.58. Cannot enthuse after that sub-standard performance.

Recent form sound. At the latest run sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 9 at Aqueduct Inner Turf on June 20 over 1207m, 2 len behind Five Dozen Roses carrying 55kg at $4.02. The run before that made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 12 at Aqueduct Turf on May 3 over 1207m, 1.5 len behind Lupine carrying 55kg at $7.55. Has been racing well. Top prospects.
