Saratoga Race 9 - Race 9 - Mdn Claiming
PRAIRIE PRINCESS (13) is a two-start maiden who returned last time and finished fifth at Saratoga (Dirt) over 1811m, beaten 7 lengths. Fitter for that outing and is a great chance to break her maiden status. RESORT (2) is yet to break through after six career starts. Managed to find the placings at Laurel Turf (Turf) two starts back when resuming before finishing fifth over 1710m at this track (Turf) last time. Cannot be left out of calculations. MISTBORN (9) is a three-start maiden who missed the placings first up but has since consolidated with two straight placings, the latest over 1710m at Monmouth Park Turf (Turf). Should be in the finish again. GUM (5) was prominent at the corner and finished third last start over 1710m at this track (Turf), beaten 1.75 lengths. Will be rock-hard fit. In the right race and is worth serious consideration.
