Saratoga Race 9 - Albany S. Stakes
TALK TO ME JIMMY (6) Ran home strongly to win last time at Finger Lakes and getting better in recent performances. Should muster plenty of early toe. Up against a higher level of opposition. One of the top hopes. ONEBIGBEAUTFULBILL (4) Romped home to win last time at this track. Strong form this preparation winning 2 from as many starts. Can go through the gears. Will be in the finish. SUNDAY BOY (2) Controlled the speed when winning by 1 1/2L last start at the track and drawn nicely. Tracking very well this preparation but taking on stronger rivals. Appears well in this. TRICKY BUSINESS (1) Close to claiming the win last time at the track and has drawn the rails. Flavien Prat is an advantage. One of the hopes.

Competed in a tight contest last time at this venue and drawn beautifully. Jockey Flavien Prat is a bonus. Not out of this.

Made all when winning by a margin of 1 1/2L last start at this venue and has a positive barrier. Should be swooping on the field late. Facing formidable opponents. Good potential.

Ran home strongly to win last time at the track. Unbeaten this preparation with 2 wins from as many starts. Possesses good finishing speed. Will attract plenty of interest.

Ran on strongly to win last time at Finger Lakes and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Should race on the speed. Competing in a higher grade. Will be fighting out the finish.

Picked up nicely to win last run at this track and was a debutant last start. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Not at all out of this race.
