Saratoga Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
I'M VERY SWEET (7) brings the best recent 1207m form, runner-up at Aqueduct last start beaten 2.75L after racing on pace, and looks suited. FLORIDA PATRIOT (11) debuted with a narrow 2nd at Aqueduct over 1207m, beaten 0.25L after leading, and is a key danger. CLEARLY SOPHIA (10) has solid 1106m credentials with a 2nd and a last-start 3rd at Laurel Park, both on-speed. MY DIVINE SPIRIT (1) resumes but was 2nd at Aqueduct over 1207m two back, beaten 2.8L, and draws the rail. BOURBON MILK PUNCH (4) is consistent and was 2nd then 3rd at Aqueduct over a mile/1710m; the drop to 1106m is the query but she maps handy.
