#1 Marvelous Maude
Plus exacta box with #5 Blissful
#1
Marvelous Maude has never been off the board in seven career races so
far for leading trainer Chad Brown who gets Irad Ortiz for the mount. Returned
running off of a six-month layoff with a solid prep followed by a win last time
out. Moves in vs. open company but has the advantage in this field containing
many non-winners of 2 lifetime.
Play in exacta box with #5 Blissful, who is a 3yo who won
her maiden race at first asking last year here at Saratoga as a 2yo. Returned
from the sidelines in a stakes spot at Canterbury, where she promptly drew post
12 and then got off to a bad start from the far outside. Showed ability again
to close for fourth, beaten less than two lengths. Luis Saez, who was aboard
the maiden win, takes the mount.
