Saratoga Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Special Weight
PAULA'S CHOICE (4) First time at the races 3yo by Slumber for Jonathan Thomas. Jaime Rodriguez is a pivotal booking. Market as guide. ROSEMONT GARDEN (6) Maxfield 3yo having first race start for Brittany T Russell. Watch the market. JARNDYCE (2) 3yo runner on debut by Karakontie for trainer Kerri Raven and has a positive draw. Watch the market moves. SILLY SEASON (8) Looked flat when 7th last run at this venue but matched against less formidable competition. Flavien Prat is a bonus. Not without claims.

Managed to run into 3rd last time here and having second race start. Has been racing in stronger company. Gets a favourable draw. Has some claims.

Initial appearance 3yo by Karakontie for trainer Kerri Raven and can find a nice position from the draw. Watch early betting.

Ran home strongly to win last run at this venue and taking on a lower class of opponents. Not at all out of this race.

Slumber 3yo trained by Jonathan Thomas having first race appearance. Jaime Rodriguez is a strong choice aboard. Respect the betting.

Odds of $14.00 and couldn't maintain the pace when 8th last start at the track but lining up against easier rivals. Should be going forward early. Will struggle against these.

At $53.00 outpaced some runners late when 5th last run at this venue. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Better to look elsewhere.

Jumped at $4.00 and uncompetitive when 7th last run at this venue but facing a weaker group of contenders. Jockey Flavien Prat is a bonus. Watch for a sign in the market.

Was $18.00 and moved through the field into 5th last time at Aqueduct. Seems very unlikely.
