Saratoga Race 4

Maiden Special Weight

Stake: $148,624

IRON DOME (5) was well fancied last start over 1408m at this track (Dirt) when third, beaten 7 lengths. Rates highly and expected to atone. HELLO BEAUTY (3) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing third last time when she was always up in the leading division over 1609m at Churchill Downs (Turf). Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. KAZ OIL CHANGER (4) ran well on debut last start to finish second over 1811m at Aqueduct (Dirt) in a tougher race. Promising type with improvement to come so another bold showing is expected. UNDISPUTED (2) could only manage to finish fourth, beaten 8 lengths, after being in contention on the corner at his latest appearance over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment.
