Saratoga Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Claiming
LOTS OF KISSES (9) Weakened to finish 8th last run at Churchill Downs. Capable of bouncing back. Shows good finishing speed. No shock to see a win. R P BYRNE (6) Resumes after a spell. Good run when finishing 2nd last start at Gulfstream Park. Should muster plenty of early speed. Jockey Jaime Rodriguez is highly regarded. A win wouldn't surprise. SOLAIA (4) Didn't attack the line when 4th last run at Churchill Downs but good career start. Showing great form since resuming from a break. Expect to go close. AMERICANEXPRESSION (7) First up. Displayed good finishing speed when 3rd beaten by 1 3/4L last start at Gulfstream Park and was a debutant last start. Should be swooping on the field late. This field suits.

Fresh today. Jumped at $14.00 and looked outclassed when 6th last time at Gulfstream Park but will appreciate a good alley. Should come to hand quickly. Could feature here.

Resuming after a break. Odds of $4.50 and finished 4th last run at Aqueduct but has a good draw. Has plenty of early speed. Dropping back to a shorter trip. Keep safe.

Resuming after a spell. Started $8.00 and folded up in the straight when 6th last start at Keeneland and down in trip. Very weak selection.

Fresh after a break. Improved to place when 2nd beaten by 5L last start at Gulfstream Park. Likely to be well placed early. Jaime Rodriguez is highly regarded. One of the punters top hopes at a very generous price.
