Saratoga Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Special Weight
SHIRL'S SOUL TOWN (1) Speightstown 4yo having first race appearance for Linda Rice and has drawn the rails. Respect the betting. BEIJING (3) Strong effort to run into 2nd beaten by 2 3/4L last time at Churchill Downs. Jockey Flavien Prat is in form. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. BLAZING TIGER (6) Peaked on the run when 4th last time at this track and good career start. Should muster plenty of early speed. Back in trip. Must respect in this event. RED SQUARE (2) Came on strongly to finish 3rd last time at Churchill Downs and was a debutant last start. Should be swooping on the field late. Open to improvement and has a show in this field.

Made some ground late when 3rd beaten by 3L last time at Churchill Downs and having second career run. Will be hitting the line strongly. Has a positive gate. Looks a nice proposition.

Good run when finishing 2nd beaten by 2 3/4L last time at Churchill Downs. Jockey Flavien Prat is a bonus. Expecting a solid performance.

Started at $4.50 and lost ground when 4th last time here and promising career start. Won't be far away during the run. Definite claims for punters.

Jumped at $18.00 and weakened to finish 5th last start at Aqueduct but having second race start. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Slim possibilty.
