Saratoga Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Claiming
IWOKEUPLIKETHIS (1) Initial race appearance 3yo by Slumber for trainer Michelle Nevin and has drawn to do little work. Jose Lezcano is highly regarded. Keep your eye on the market. FOREVER TO GO (9) Fresh after a 32 week break. Disappointing run when 7th last time at Aqueduct. Should come to hand quickly. Underrated. TICKET TO RIDE (10) Couldn't stay in touch when 10th last run at Aqueduct and will be facing a significant drop in distance. Jockey Irad Ortiz Jr adds value. Key player. GARDEN OF GRACE (14) Chased well when 4th last run at this track. Jaime Rodriguez rates highly aboard. Can take this out.

Michelle Nevin trained 3yo by Slumber having first start and has a nice advantage with a good draw. Jose Lezcano adds value. Watch betting.

Resumes from a spell. Started $12.00 and basic showing when 6th last time at Aqueduct but fitter for debut run. Does take a while to get into stride. A difficult test here.
