Saratoga Race 10 - Adirondack S. Stakes
PIERETTE (3) remains unbeaten after two starts, scoring again last time over 1207m in stakes class at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Kept fresh and expected to be in the finish once again. SCARLETT BEGONIA (6) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 1106m at Ellis Park (Dirt) four weeks ago. Has plenty of upside and can win again. ALMIGHTY ONE (9) settled well back then made some inroads and finished 2.25 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1106m at Woodbine All Weather three weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Should park just off the speed. Capable of testing this field. BANDMASTER (1) showed good early speed and raced just off the lead before lifting to score by 0.8 lengths over 1106m at Aqueduct (Dirt) last start. Stiffer assignment here but cannot be underestimated.

Jumped at big odds at debut, won tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.8 len at Aqueduct June 21 over 1106m defeating First Site carrying 56kg at $35.72. No reason she cannot make it two in a row.

Freshened since getting off the mark on debut; won by 8 len at Lone Star Park June 14 over 1006m defeating Kamikaze Cowgirl with 54kg at $12.50. Can't dismiss winning form but will find this tougher.

Comes off a 30 day let-up. Most recently ran second last in a small field at this track in LR on July 3 over 1207m, 30 len behind Harper's Corner with 55.5kg at $2.08. The start before that scored a big 6 len win at this track June 4 over 1106m defeating Margie's Girl carrying 56kg at $5.31. Didn't fire last start but is capable of better.
