Saratoga Race 10 - Race 10 - Mdn Special Weight
PROMISE ME AMELODY (12) was on debut at Saratoga (Dirt) last start where she made a sustained run and finished second, beaten 2 lengths, over 1408m. Showed ability last time and should prove tough to beat again. AMAZING GRACER (7) was thereabouts last time out when second at Saratoga Turf (Turf) over 1710m, beaten 1.5 lengths. Cherry-ripe now. Ready to win. COACH OF THE YEAR (8) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 1.5 lengths when fourth over 1811m at Saratoga Turf two-and-a-half weeks ago after being in the firing line on the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. FELIXYN (2) was in contention on the corner and finished second last time over 1710m at this track (Turf), beaten 0.1 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Should be about the money.

Recent form sound. Comes off a 42 day let-up. At the latest run tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 8 at this track on July 10 over 1710m, 0.1 len behind Jordan's Love with 55kg at $5.61. The start before that sat on the pace when 2nd of 10 at Aqueduct Turf on June 13 over 1609m, 0.5 len behind Tiz The Lady with 54.5kg at $20.71. Narrowly missed last start and is a top chance again.
