Saratoga Race 7 - Bolton Landing S. Stakes
SIDE QUEST (3) won her maiden over this course and distance last start, getting the verdict by 6 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Has a low draw and she looks certain to measure up again. GO FOR LAUNCH (2) was in control from the outset to score as favourite on debut over 1006m at Woodbine a month ago. Sure to be further improved and can make it back-to-back wins. EXTRAVAGANZOO (4) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 4 lengths at this track (Turf) over 1106m. Worth including. MORE CHAMPAGNE (1) resumes after a break of ten weeks. Did win at her only other first-up run when on debut, scoring over 1106m at Keeneland Turf. Can make her presence felt while fresh.
