Saratoga Race 11 - Alabama S. Presented By Keeneland Sales Stakes
COUNTING STARS (6) is a progressive type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Has scored at her last two, the latest over 1811m in the G1 American Oaks at this track (Dirt) winning by 4 lengths. Unbeaten here and will go close again. MY GUN'S LOADED (4) recorded another success last time over 1609m at this track (Dirt) making it two straight wins this campaign. Comfortable winner last time and can measure up again. MEASURE (3) missed the frame first-up but looks ready to win now after two straight placings, the latest over 1811m in the G1 American Oaks at this track (Dirt). Among the leading chances. ATI GIRL (2) broke her maiden last start over 1811m at this track (Dirt), scoring by 2.5 lengths. Tougher assignment this time but is one of the main contenders.

Racing well recently. Comes here off a 37-day let-up. Most recently won by 2.5 len at this track on July 16 over 1811m defeating Pippa Adds carrying 55kg at $2.41. The run before that held ground to the line 2nd of 9 at Churchill Downs on May 29 over 1811m, 0.5 len behind Tap To Open carrying 53.5kg at $3.24. Scored a maiden win last time and is worth thought again.
