Saratoga Race 11 - Gio Ponti S. Stakes
DOUBTING THOMAS (6) Ran over the top of them when winning last time at Colonial Downs and going over extra ground. Shows very good closing speed. Showing consistent performance in races. Worth strong consideration. CHUMMERS (8) Romped home to win last run here but facing a stronger group of contenders. Made it 3 wins on the bounce. Can go through the gears. Must respect in this event. BULL SHOALS (5) Made a mess of them when winning by 3 1/4L last start at Del Mar and putting a tidy record together so far. Respect in this event. SIYOUINCANADA (7) Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last time at this venue and promising career start. Has shown early pace in races to date. Putting up notable efforts this preparation. Serious player.

Back from a break. Was $8.00 and mediocre attempt when 6th last time at Aqueduct but returns to more ground. Will be trying to topple them late. Keep safe.

Had difficulty when 5th last time at Retama Park but can find a nice position from the draw. Change in trainer and returns to a rise in trip. Not dismissing.

Rocketed home when winning last time at Colonial Downs and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Always seems to find the line well. Rising in trip. Facing formidable rivals. Good chance and definitely has claims.
