Saratoga Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Special Weight
PIPPA ADDS (3) sets the standard after leading and holding 2nd at Aqueduct over 1408m last start, 2.5L off the winner, and should be on speed again. COLD SPELL (4) was runner-up on debut at Keeneland over 1207m, sticking on throughout, and looks suited rising to this trip. FUSION (5) returned 2nd at Aqueduct over 1207m and draws to get a similar run. MY SHERRONA (8) has multiple turf placings at a mile last year and now cuts back, while NAKOMA (6) arrives off a solid 3rd over 1207m here last month. Leading chances: Pippa Adds (3), Cold Spell (4), Fusion (5).
