Saratoga Race 9 - Johnstone S. Stakes

USHA (6) was prominent at the bend but turned in a sub-par run last time out over 1408m in the G2 Chicago Stakes at Churchill Downs (Dirt) after a nice win the start prior. Has the ability to produce a better result. MUNNINGS EXPRESS (3) is a model of consistency with top-three finishes at her last 11 starts, most recently finishing third over 1408m at this track. Leading contender. WITH THE ANGELS (5) has had two runs since a break, the latest a fourth over 1207m in stakes class at Aqueduct Turf (Turf), beaten 6 lengths. Improvement in store so she is among the leading chances. IRON ORCHARD (7) failed to threaten when fresh from a spell last time out, beaten 12 lengths into ninth over 1308m in the G3 Victory Ride Stakes at this track (Dirt). Takes on much easier opposition this time. Too good to ignore.

Comes off a 46 day let-up. At the latest run sat behind the speed prior to fading ran second last of 8 at Churchill Downs in the G2 Chicago Stakes on June 20 over 1408m, 5 len behind Eclatant carrying 54.5kg at $3.73. The start before that came from midfield and won by a nose at Churchill Downs G3 Winning Colors Stakes May 25 over 1207m defeating Zeitlos carrying 56kg at $3.44. Worth another chance.
