Saratoga Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Special Weight
PAUILLAC (3) Couldn't maintain the pace when 5th last run at Monmouth Park. May see an upturn in form. Shows good early pace. Definite winning chance. COMMERCE (4) Improved late to finish 4th last start at this track. Will take beating today. ASKED AND ANSWERED (2) Good performance to run into 2nd last run at Aqueduct and drawn nicely. Jaime Rodriguez is an advantage. Can figure in the finish. PRESIDENTIAL POWER (5) Ran 6th last run around here but was a debutant last start. Has a great burst of speed late. Todd A Pletcher stable are in good form of late. Worth some thought.

Flashed home late into 2nd beaten by 1/2L last run at Aqueduct and gets a favourable draw. Jaime Rodriguez rates highly. One of the punters top hopes.

Was $2.50 and gave away some ground when 5th last run at Monmouth Park. May see an upturn in form. Won't be far away during the run. Will show up at the business end.

Jumped at $7.00 and showed some merit late when 4th last start here. Expect a bold effort.

At $12.00 ran 6th last run here but having second career run. Should be swooping on the field late. Stable is in form and racing over extra ground. Will need to find a new peak.

Was $16.00 and came in 5th last time here. John R Velazquez and Todd A Pletcher are usually competitive when they team up. Couldn't have in this.
