Saratoga Race 10 - Race 10 - Mdn Claiming
VIVALDI (1) First run back from a break. Tailed off to finish 10th last time at Churchill Downs. Happy to overlook that run and drawn the rails. Respect in this event. MELODY MAN (3) First up from a break of 14 weeks and came on strongly when 2nd beaten by 1/2L first up last preparation at Gulfstream Park. Facing a rise in trip. Winning hope. DUTY (8) Couldn't shake them off when 3rd last start at Aqueduct and promising career start. Should muster plenty of early speed. Must respect. ABOUT FACE (2) Pushed past some when 4th last run at Churchill Downs and can find a nice position from the draw. Irad Ortiz Jr adds value. Could give some each way value.

Back from a break. Odds of $6.50 and looked outclassed when 10th last time at Churchill Downs. Happy to overlook that run and has drawn to do little work. Definite claims for punters.

Odds of $16.00 and picked up some ground to run 4th last run at this venue. Luis Saez and Danny Gargan are a duo to watch closely. Betting is the best guide.

Started at $23.00 and fairly underwhelming when 6th last start at this track and back in trip. Likely to be an exotics contender.

Fresh after a spell. Started $16.00 and uncompetitive when 5th last start at Keeneland but having second career run. First race for a new trainer. Looks too tough.

Improved to place when 2nd last time around here and honest performer putting a tidy record together. In strong racing shape since coming back from a spell. Do not dismiss entirely.

Was outmatched at the end of the race when 3rd last start at Aqueduct and putting a tidy record together so far. Has shown early pace in races to date. Definitely worth considering.
