Saratoga Race 8 - Skidmore S. Stakes
WOOD ISLAND (8) Showed a clean pair of heels when winning by a margin of 1 1/2L last start at this track and was a debutant last start. Taking on stronger competition. Will give a big sight. LEGACY LADY (7) Gave them all something to chase when winning by a margin of 3 1/2L last start at Monmouth Park but up against tougher opponents. Will be around the mark at odds. TITAN READY (6) Narrowly denied victory last start at Woodbine but matched against tougher rivals. Should jump out and bowl along. Manuel Franco and Brad H Cox show promise as a combination. Respect against this field. BETTABE TOUGH (4) Set the pace when winning by a margin of a head last run at Monmouth Park and was on debut last time. Will be positive in the run early. Won't be far away.

Jumped at $36.00 and folded up in the straight when 6th last start at the track but drawn well. Might have to make up considerable ground. Others much better.

Odds of $53.00 and inched into 5th last time at Ellis Park and lining up against easier rivals. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Drawn nicely. Questions at this level.

Ran on strongly to win last start at Monmouth Park but matched against a stronger field. Represents value.

Went to the front and never looked back when winning by a head last run at Monmouth Park and was a debutant last start. Should race on the speed. Respected competitor.

First up today. Managed to place 2nd beaten by 1L last time at Aqueduct and having second race start. Should definitely be in your exotic bets.

Just missed last start at Woodbine but up against a more competitive field. Manuel Franco and Brad H Cox have a good working relationship. One of the punters top hopes at a very generous price.

Went to the front and never looked back when winning by a margin of 3 1/2L last start at Monmouth Park but up in grade. Definite claims for punters.

Led all the way to win by 1 1/2L last start here and fitter for debut run. Likely to be well placed early. Flavien Prat is a smart booking. Strong prospects in this race.
