Saratoga Race 11 - Race 11 - Mdn Special Weight
MAXIMUM HEAT (11) 3yo debutant by Maxfield for trainer Linda Rice. Follow the money. BEFORE THE WIND (6) Closed off nicely when 5th last time at Aqueduct. Jaime Rodriguez rates highly aboard. A win wouldn't surprise. COACH RYAN (10) Resumes after a spell of 39 weeks. Displayed good finishing speed when 2nd last start at Aqueduct. Jockey Manuel Franco and trainer Chad C Brown are a combination worth following. Can measure up to this company. KARSTEN (5) Ran on when 3rd last time at Aqueduct and having second race start. Has early speed and positions nicely. Great to see jockey Flavien Prat taking the ride. Expect to go close.

Fresh after a break. Odds of $69.00 and overtook some late when 4th last start at Aqueduct and has drawn the rails. This one has a big task.

Ran home into 2nd beaten by 2 1/2L last run at Aqueduct and drawn nicely. Demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Would need to step up.

Hit the line well when 3rd last time at Aqueduct and fitter for debut run. Should come to hand quickly. Flavien Prat is a key engagement. Good chance of taking this out.

At $28.00 clearly outclassed when 9th last run here but was on debut last time. Chris J Englehart stable are having a great run of late. Questions at this level.
