Saratoga Race 10 - Coaching Club American Oaks Stakes
COUNTING STARS (1) pushed forward and led throughout to score a 4 length win over 1811m in the G1 Acorn Stakes at this track (Dirt) last time. Winning jockey stays aboard and is likely to play a major role. ALWAYS A RUNNER (6) is a promising type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Among the chances on best figures. ZANY (8) lines up for the first time since May 1. Looking to emulate her win at Tampa Bay Downs to kick off the last campaign. Comes here with definite top-three claims. LA RASCASSE (3) went forward and proved too strong last time, scoring with 2.25 lengths to spare over 1710m in Listed grade at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Can sneak into the finish again.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 50 day let-up. At the latest run 2nd in a small field at this track in the G1 Acorn Stakes on June 5 over 1811m, 4 len behind Counting Stars carrying 56kg at $1.86.
