Saratoga Race 10 - Race 10 - Mdn Claiming
SALVATION (14) First up from a break of 34 weeks and produced an eye catching run when 2nd beaten by 2 1/2L first up last preparation at the track. Will be there at the finish. VIVALDI (1) Back from a break. Struggled with the pace when 10th last start at Churchill Downs but gets a favourable draw. Flavien Prat is a crucial engagement. Serious player. MELODY MAN (4) First up and finished strongly when 2nd beaten by 1/2L first up last preparation at Gulfstream Park. Won't be far away during the run. Racing over a longer distance. Winning hope. EVENLY ALERT (16) Good run when placing 2nd last time at Monmouth Park and having second career run. Jockey Flavien Prat is highly regarded. A win wouldn't surprise.

First up and finished strongly when 2nd first up last preparation at Gulfstream Park. Should come to hand quickly. Going over more ground. Strong prospects.

Racing on a quick back up. Was $4.00 and came in 4th last time here. Coming to a new trainer. Respect the betting.

Jumped at $7.50 and didn't threaten when 6th last run around here. Expecting to settle positively. Recent form of the stable is strong. Could feature here.

At $36.00 sub-standard effort when 8th last run at this track. Not threatening these.

First up from a break of 34 weeks and rattled home nicely into 2nd first up last preparation around here. Have to respect the recent Linda Rice form. Definite contender.

Produced an eye catching run when 2nd last time at Monmouth Park and fitter for debut run. Jockey Flavien Prat rates highly. Capable type.
