Saratoga Race 6

Maiden Special Weight

Stake: $165,137

GORRONO RANCH (8) was well fancied last start over 1106m at this track (Dirt) when third, beaten 5 lengths. Extra trip a plus so worth another chance. MATADORA (1) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1207m at Aqueduct (Turf). Sure to improve and can get off the mark this time. GINGER ALE (9) is a first-starter by Into Mischief from Co Cola who has been a wonderful producer including a winner at the elite level. Sure to be competitive despite an awkward draw. EMBRACE TIME (5) is appearing for the first time. By Not This Time and hails from the B H Cox stable. Watch the market closely.
