Saratoga Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Special Weight
ZATOPEK (2) Nyquist 3yo on debut for trainer Chad C Brown and drawn nicely. Flavien Prat is a crucial engagement. Market as guide. ORIGINALITY (4) 3yo by Beau Liam on debut for trainer Todd A Pletcher. Betting is the best guide. SUMMER OF GEORGE (5) Chad Summers trained 4yo by Authentic having first start. Watch the betting. COMPLEX CHARLIE (6) First up. Although being overrun still placed 3rd last start at Aqueduct. Has early speed and positions nicely. Knockout chance in this.

First time at the races 3yo by Nyquist for Chad C Brown and gets a favourable alley. Flavien Prat is a suitable booking. Betting as a guide.

Resuming from a break of 50 weeks. Was $7.50 and tailed off to finish 5th last run at Aqueduct but was a debutant last start. Hard to entertain.

Caught the eye when 2nd last start at Delaware Park and was on debut last time. Has shown early pace in races to date. Do not dismiss.
