Saratoga Race 13 - Draftkings Travers S. Stakes
LEADING CHANGE (2) Charged home to win last start at Horseshoe Indianapolis and will try to take advantage of the draw. Flying this preparation with 2 wins from as many starts. Definite claims. RENEGADE (5) Ran over the top of them when winning last start around here but facing stiffer opposition. Has run into the placings at every start this preparation. Worth consideration. EMERGING MARKET (1) Ran on strongly when 2nd beaten by 3L last time at this track and drawn well. Stable is in form and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Can win. NAPOLEON SOLO (3) Couldn't keep the pace going when 2nd beaten by 1/2L last time at Monmouth Park but facing formidable opponents. Should muster plenty of early speed. One at a bit of odds.

Dashed home to win last start at Horseshoe Indianapolis and drawn nicely. Hasn't put a foot wrong this preparation with 2 wins from as many runs. One of the punters top hopes at a very generous price.

Odds of $5.00 and moved through the field into 4th last start at Monmouth Park and showing consistent performance in races. Stepping up to a higher level. Sound chance.

Won by a huge margin of more than 8L last start at this venue and good career start. Flavien Prat is a strong choice aboard. Very competitive this preparation. Not dismissing.

Fresh today. Charged home to win last run at Churchill Downs but facing a stronger class. Might be ridden for luck. Hard to entertain.
