Saratoga Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Special Weight
TEXAS DANDELION (1) has filled a minor placing at both runs to date, the latest when beaten half a length into second over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Best form puts her right in this. ELEVATED (7) is a daughter of Flightline from the Group 1 winner Slam Dunk who makes her debut. Strong profile and should play a role in the finish. INTRAOSSEOUS (5) came home strongly last start to finish third, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 1207m at Churchill Downs on debut. Among the main chances. MS LIU (3) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1106m at Aqueduct (Dirt), finishing third and beaten 5 lengths. Can figure in the finish.

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, 3rd in a small field at Churchill Downs on June 5 over 1006m, 5 len behind Sweet Mary carrying 54kg at $4.04. Second-up 2nd of 12 at Churchill Downs on June 28 over 1207m, 0.5 len behind Haute In Herre with 54kg at $11.38. Key chance likely to give a big sight.

Was well in the market at debut, 3rd of 7 at Aqueduct on June 21 over 1106m, 5 len behind Bandmaster carrying 56kg at $4.78. Doesn't need to improve a great deal to be opening her account.
