SARATOGA Race #SEVEN

Premium Pick
(# 5) LEMON DROP GAL - She ran a very impressive race second off the layoff when winning the Evil Bear Overnight Stakes at Belmont. She defeated a pretty hard-hitter in Somethinboutbetty who would be a threat in here. Mare won a turf sprint stakes here last year (The Grab The Green), and defeated a talented mid-west shipper Bucky's Prayer. She's at the top of her game and a repeat of last would be good enough. Has a very tractable running style.

(# 3) Mohegan Sky - Proven filly at the distance, surface and level of competition. Runs about 3-5 lengths off-the-lead early, and it is imperative that she avoid any traffic congestion, as even a slight hesitation could turn into defeat.

(# 8) Truly Blushed - What can you say, other than she is, and has been a gem of consistency. With the speed ball on the rail, she will get a comfortable stalking position, and will fight it out all the way to the wire.

(# 1) Taletobetold - Fields lone three-year-old faces a difficult assignment, but she has blazing speed and has the hedge. Would expect her to be on the engine and in front early. A lot depends on what pressure she encounters.
