Saratoga Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
NOBLE GLOW (10) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1609m at this track (Dirt) after being in the firing line on the bend. Hard to beat in this suitable race. GLOW OF A ROSE (5) returned last time with a solid second at this track (Dirt) over 1207m after being in the firing line on the corner. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. MISS WATERMELON (6) is returning from a spell of eight months. Finished seventh at Keeneland Turf (Turf) over 1710m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Kelsey Danner. Worth plenty of thought on an each-way basis. GUNS OF ROSES (7) was well fancied on debut last start and was not far off the mark, finishing second and beaten 5 lengths over 1207m at Gulfstream Park (Dirt). Has ability and worth including.
