Saratoga Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Special Weight
CHESTNUT (4) First run back from a break. Threw down a serious challenge last start at Gulfstream Park. Big chance. POISE (3) Did well when 2nd last run at Churchill Downs and solid career start. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Going well this preparation. No shock to see a win. GLOW OF A ROSE (1) Resuming after a spell of 42 weeks. Good performance to run into 3rd last time at Keeneland and having second race start. Should be swooping on the field late. Can run into the money. FROLICKING (2) First run back from a 47 week spell. Made considerable ground when 2nd beaten by 3/4L last run at Churchill Downs and was a debutant last start. Could run into the placings.

Resuming after a break of 42 weeks. Came on strongly when 3rd last time at Keeneland and fitter for debut run. Flavien Prat is a suitable booking. Looking elsewhere today.

First up from a 47 week spell. Caught the eye when 2nd last run at Churchill Downs and having second career run. Drawn nicely. This field likely to be too good.
