Saratoga Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Special Weight
GADGET PLAY (6) Gave plenty of cheek when 2nd beaten by 2 3/4L last start at this venue. Been in the money each start this campaign. Can give this a shake. VEBLEN (1) First time at the races 3yo by Tapit for William I Mott and drawn the rails. Watch for a sign in the market. SIDEARM (2) Didn't find the line when 5th last start around here. Expecting improvement and can find a nice position from the draw. Going well this preparation. Could give a show. SIR DUKE (3) Came in 4th last time at this venue. Expecting improvement. Racing for a new trainer. Could go well.

At $5.50 ran 4th last time at this venue. Expecting improvement. First start for a new trainer. Good chance and definitely has claims.

At $14.00 made up ground when 5th last run at the track and was on debut last time. Will need a big effort to win this.

Nice effort to run into 2nd last time at this venue and having second race start. Flavien Prat is a smart booking. Strong prospects in this race.

Was quite a handful for the competition when 2nd last start at this track. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Commands respect.

First up today. Gave a strong sight when 3rd beaten by just short of 8L last start at Aqueduct and was a debutant last start. Expecting to settle positively. Pass.
