Saratoga Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
SECRET WISH (8) 2yo first starter by Good Magic for trainer Chad C Brown. Flavien Prat is a key engagement. Watch for a sign in the market. NAUGHTY NANCY (10) Fresh after a break of 511 weeks. Finished amongst the placegetters when 2nd beaten by 3 1/2L last time Parx At Philadelphia and good career start. Key player. GET MY GOOD SIDE (3) 2yo by Life Is Good having initial appearance for Amelia J Green. Watch the market moves. AERIAL AFFAIR (6) Despite getting tired late still placed 2nd last start here. Shows good early pace. Amongst the placegetters at every start this preparation. Will be competitive.

Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last start around here and was on debut last time. Should be going forward early. Can find a nice position from the draw. Keep safe.

Jumped at $9.00 and not up to scratch when 6th last time at this venue but fitter for debut run. Todd A Pletcher stable are on a hot streak. Hard to see this being good enough.

Overrun late when 2nd beaten by nearly 7L last start at this venue. Should come to hand quickly. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Hard to see finishing out of the placings.

Started $14.00 and mediocre performance when 7th last start at the track but having second career run. Danny Gargan stable are running hot lately. Expected to settle towards the rear. Not in this.

Jumped at $16.00 and weakened to finish 6th last run at this track but having second race start. Should be rolling forward early from the wide draw. Not ready for this level.

Back from a 511 week spell. Managed to run into 2nd beaten by 3 1/2L last time Parx At Philadelphia and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Good chance of taking this out.
