Saratoga Race 2 - With Anticipation S. Stakes
HIGH OFFICIAL (3) Finished well when winning last run here and having second race start. Todd A Pletcher stable are in good form of late but taking on stronger rivals. One of the major hopes. LIAM'S LAW (2) Assumed control from the start when winning by 1 1/4L last time at this track and drawn nicely. Should come to hand quickly. Up against tougher rivals. Serious player. HOWARD'S HOPE (1) Stormed home to win last run around here and was on debut last time. Will be trying to topple them late. Gets the perfect draw. Respect against this field. PERFECT DREAM (5) Flew home to win last start at Monmouth Park but competing at a higher class. Recent form of Jorge Delgado is strong. Include in chances.

Bold effort when winning last run at the track and fitter for debut run. Expected to be flashing home. Drawn beautifully. Facing a stronger group of contenders. In the mix against these.

Led from start to finish when winning by a margin of 1 1/4L last time at the track and has a good draw. Should muster plenty of early toe. Holds a major chance.

Bold effort when winning last run here and was a debutant last start. Flavien Prat is a smart booking but up against a higher level of opposition. Attracts support.

Close to a win last run at this track and having second career run. Todd A Pletcher stable are running hot lately but matched against a stronger field. Will be tested in this.

Reeled them in when winning last start at Monmouth Park but competing in a higher grade. Recent form of the stable is strong. Right in the mix.
