Saratoga Race 1 - Michael G. Walsh Novice S. Stakes

PHILIP MY DEAR (7) is racing well. Scored at Malvern (Turf) two back then finished second, beaten half a length, over 3219m at Colonial Downs Turf (Turf) at the latest appearance six-and-a-half weeks ago. Sure to go well. CYBER NINJA (4) stalked the pace when resuming at this track and trip last start then worked to the line steadily to finish second. Winning rider Jamie Bargary sticks. Fitter and is expected to feature. FEELING FESTIVE (3) built on a nice second when fresh from a spell two starts back at Great Meadow (Turf) with success as favourite over 3621m at Colonial Downs Turf (Turf) six-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by one length. Must raise the bar but this looks well within his grasp. LORD FLINTSHIRE (1) produced another moderate effort last start when 16 lengths from the winner in sixth over 3822m at this track at the second run back from a spell. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
