Saratoga Race 7

Maiden Special Weight

Stake: $165,137

MAINSTREAM (3) was narrowly beaten last start when second in a small field over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Has a good association with Luis Saez with a run of three top-three results. Expecting a bold showing. DURATION (1) has been kept fresh since finishing second last start over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Genuine contender. TAP INTO THIS (2) was in the firing line on the corner and finished second last time over 1609m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 2 lengths. Perfectly placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. BARB (4) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Nicely placed to play a pivotal role.
