Saratoga Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Special Weight
FACTORY SETTING (9) Did well to run into 3rd last run at Aqueduct and good career start. Flavien Prat is a pivotal booking. Will be around the mark at odds. TICKET TO RIDE (15) Finished amongst the placegetters when 2nd last time at Aqueduct and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Sahin Civaci is in good form for this stable. Can give this a shake. ZAP THAT GHOST (12) Jorge R Abreu trained 4yo by Ghostzapper having first start. Betting as a guide. PELICAN PRIDE (8) Flashed home late into 3rd beaten by 1/2L last run at Aqueduct and having second career run. Jockey John R Velazquez and trainer Cherie Devaux must be respected together. Exotics and place chance. Something for the Multiples: SOARING SPIRIT (7)

At $23.00 below standard effort when 6th last time at Aqueduct but was a debutant last start. The large claim from Dalila A Rivera helps and going up in trip. Hard to recommend.

Managed to finish 2nd last time at Aqueduct and fitter for debut run. Will be positive in the run early. Drawn nicely. Watch for a sign in the market.

Resuming from a 28 week break. Attacked the line when 2nd beaten by 4 1/2L last run at Aqueduct. Expected to settle towards the rear. Would need to step up.

Solid effort to run into 3rd beaten by 1/2L last run at Aqueduct and having second race start. Has some claims.

Jumped at $3.60 and moved through the field into 4th last start at Aqueduct. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Betting is the best guide.
