Saratoga Race 7 - New York Stallion Statue Of Liberty S. Stakes
CELTIC DAWN (5) is a talented filly who was well held last time in tougher grade over 1710m in Listed grade at this track (Turf). Reunites with jockey Javier Castellano who knows her well, including three wins while aboard. Should be hard to stop. SHE'S COUNTRY (7) resumes after a break of nine months. Hoping for a repeat of her debut win over 1710m at this track to kick off last prep. Key runner. COMBAT MOVE (4) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 2.25 lengths over 1106m at Saratoga Turf (Dirt). Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Looks well placed and she is one of the main chances. MORNING PRAYER (3) got off the mark over 1710m at this track (Turf) last start, scoring by 1.75 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Re-unites with Ricardo Santana Jr who was on board last start. Tougher task this time but expected to be competitive again.

Racing well recently. Most recently held ground to the line 2nd of 7 at this track on August 12 over 1710m, 0.1 len behind Artistic Success with 55kg at $4.84. Before that 3rd of 9 at this track on July 19 over 1710m, 2.75 len behind Roagna carrying 55kg at $10.03. Worth thought after getting close last time.

Having third race start. When well in the market at debut, 2nd in a small field at Saratoga on July 18 over 1106m, 1.0 len behind My First Dinah carrying 55.5kg at $4.88. Last start won by 2.25 len at Saratoga Turf on August 13 over 1106m defeating Galway Gurl with 55.5kg at $3.03. Capable of a strong showing.

At the latest run ran last in a small field in stakes class at this track at this track on July 23 over 1710m, 5.5 len behind Cosmic Candy Girl carrying 56kg at $3. The race before that ran on from midfield and won by 2.5 len in stakes class at Aqueduct Turf at Aqueduct Turf on June 13 over 1207m defeating Encantar carrying 55.5kg at $1.69. Better than last start suggests.

Most recently ran on strongly from last on the turn and won by a nose at Finger Lakes on August 5 over 1609m defeating Lipan Law carrying 54.5kg at $1.40. The start before that 4th in a small field in Listed grade at Finger Lakes at Finger Lakes on July 13 over 1710m, 9 len behind Venetta with 54kg at $27.12. Will jump at pretty long odds and deservedly so.
