Saratoga Monday July 31st

[Kitan]

Race 1:
#5 First Charmer: Speed held well off slow half last. Other recent turf sprints fit.
#4 Miss Kentucky

Race 2:
#3 Makeamericagreat: Not given much chance in the stretch last out.
#7 Nowinadrive
#1 Funtastic
#10 Peace Speaker

Race 3:
#3 Moana
#4 Stay Fond
#1 Smile Big

Race 4:
#4 Shane's Jewel: Only a $4k yearling but had solid sales work to sell for 11x that price. Debuted on a horrendous surface and should get better conditions this time.
#9 The Berber: Like to see 4 5f works.
#2 Factor This
#8 Day of Reckoning

Race 5:
#2 Tale of E Dubai: Strong wire to wire effort on turf debut beating Cyclogenesis. No chance from post 14 in the Stakes and something amiss last time but was his third race in a month. Freshened up since then and would be no surprise to see him take them all the way again.
#8 Aktabantay: Ran 4th in a G1 at Royal Ascot two years ago. Rejuvenated a bit since the switch to Cox.
#10 Padilla
#9 Shadow Rock

Race 6:
#4 Merilore: Hasn't been on the lawn since the autumn but wasn't disgraced on the dirt. Three works for this. Sharp doesn't have the best #s off the claim at SAR, however.
#5 Frosty Lady: Bounced back from a poor performance to beat NY-breds. Won both starts at SAR last year.
#7 Morethanawarning: Just ran 3rd for 40k but may get too far back.
#6 Carmenere: Tough to ignore last, but Scherer hits at a good clip off the claim.

Race 7:
#6 Minsky Moment: Much the one to beat.

Race 8:
#6 Epping Forest: Three for three sprinting. Gets in at 115lbs.
#3 No More Babies: Dam won a turf sprint on debut and this one posted a bullet over the surface two weeks ago. Can wire them.
#1 Let It Ride Mom
#8 Morticia
Like #4 at a price as well...

Race 9:
#12 That Mr. P: Never tried fast dirt. Could do worse than taking a bomb in a terrible race.
#1 Dab
#4 Fullback Foye
#15 Nut Nut
