Saratoga Race 9 - Smart And Fancy S. Stakes
MISS VYVYANNE (6) is racing well this preparation, including a last start win over 1006m in the G2 Highlander Stakes at Woodbine to bring up three wins from four runs in the campaign. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Expecting a bold showing. ZEITLOS (9) did a good job last start to finish second in the G2 Caress Stakes at this track (Turf) over 1106m, beaten 1.3 lengths. Drawn out but going well enough to play a role. MUNNINGS EXPRESS (10) has five wins and four minor placings from nine runs this campaign. Scored last start by 1.75 lengths in stakes class at Saratoga (Dirt) over 1408m after being up on the pace all the way. Genuine type with winning claims. PRAYING (3) was last at the races when she finished sixth over 1408m in the G2 Bed O' Roses Invitational Stakes at Saratoga (Dirt) on June 5. One to consider.

Comes off a 47 day let-up. At the latest run 4th of 9 at Churchill Downs Turf on June 28 over 1106m, 1.1 len behind Buttercream Babe with 55kg at $10.35. The race before that ran second last of 8 at Churchill Downs Turf on June 3 over 1106m, 6 len behind Sunna carrying 55kg at $7.74. Not far from the winner last time but this is a tough assignment.
