Saratoga Race 10 - Race 10 - Mdn Special Weight
GOLD SOVEREIGN (4) hasn't been far away but remains a maiden after seven starts. Last time out he drifted back but got home steadily to be beaten 6 lengths into fourth over 1911m at Aqueduct Turf (Turf). Should camp just off the leaders. Will give a great sight. INSTANTLY (5) faced the starter for the first time and finished sixth last start at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf) over 1811m, beaten 4 lengths. Expected to improve and will pay to follow up. LAHAINALUNA (1) is yet to break through after five starts. Last time out was fourth, beaten 6 lengths, over 2414m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf). Should be poised just off the lead. One to consider. LIMITED EDITION (2) returned from a spell seven weeks ago when he was in contention on the turn before being beaten 2.25 lengths into fifth over 1609m at this track. Fitter so expect a better run this time.

At the latest run made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 7 at Aqueduct Turf on June 26 over 1609m, nose behind Fateful Lightning with 57kg at $3.31. The race before that ran last of 8 at Aqueduct Turf on May 23 over 2213m, 7 len behind Versailles Road carrying 57kg at $43.66. Not going well enough. Needs to lift.

At debut, 6th of 12 at Churchill Downs Turf on June 6 over 1811m, 4 len behind Royal Causeway carrying 53.5kg at $10.11. Likely to take a lot from that run and is worth following up.
