Saratoga Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Claiming
DISCOTHEQUE (3) Improved when 4th last start at Churchill Downs. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Putting up notable efforts since returning from a spell. Expect a solid run. REGENERATION (2) Racing fresh today after a break of 27 weeks. Ran home into 3rd beaten by 3 1/4L last run at Tampa Bay Downs. Has a nice turn of foot. Could prove hard to beat. THE STANDARD (6) Pushed past some when 4th last start at Churchill Downs. Looks promising in this race. SIR DUKE (1) Fresh after a break. Managed to finish 3rd beaten by 9L last run at Aqueduct and was a debutant last start. Has plenty of early speed. Capable of better.

Fresh today. Flashed home late into 3rd beaten by 9L last run at Aqueduct and fitter for debut run. Tyler Gaffalione and Carlos F Martin are an imposing duo. Watching with interest.

Started $5.00 and inched into 4th last start at Churchill Downs. Should muster plenty of early speed. Jockey Irad Ortiz Jr is a bonus. Very competitive this preparation. Will go very close.

Fresh after spell of 46 weeks. Started at $8.50 and fairly underwhelming when 6th last run at this venue but having second race start. Hard to take.

Jumped at $43.00 and ran on into 5th last start at Aqueduct and having second career run. Likely to settle back in the field. Tough ask.

At $43.00 looked outclassed when 6th last time at Aqueduct. This looks a tough assignment.
