Saratoga Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming

PLAYING TRICKS (5) Picked up some ground to run 5th last run at Aqueduct and showing consistent performance in races. Manuel Franco and Chad C Brown are consistently competitive when paired. Has genuine claims in this race. BEDARD (2) Finished amongst the placegetters when 2nd last start at Horseshoe Indianapolis and facing a weaker group of contenders. Has plenty of early speed. Jockey Irad Ortiz Jr is a plus. Can get the job done . SHATTUCK (4) Resuming from spell of 30 weeks. Was strong late when 3rd beaten by 2L last start at Aqueduct but up against stronger opponents. Has a nice turn of foot. Respect against this field. BARB (3) Didn't attack the line when 10th last time at Churchill Downs. Overlooking the last run. Flavien Prat adds value. Likely threat.

Jumped at $16.00 and folded up in the straight when 10th last time at Churchill Downs. Overlooking the last run. Flavien Prat is a smart booking. Nice value bet.

Back after a 30 week break. Came on strongly to finish 3rd when beaten by 2L last start at Aqueduct but up against a more competitive field. Could feature prominently.
