Saratoga Race 4 - Race 4 - Maiden Special Weight
KEEPINITREAL (7) is racing well and has registered four minor placings in a row, last time out finishing third over 1408m at this track (Dirt) after being prominent from the outset. Settles close to the speed. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. MERICA'S BACK (10) is building towards a maiden win after minor placings at his last two runs, the latest when second over 1207m at Aqueduct (Dirt), beaten 4 lengths. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Will give a great sight. ALZERO (1) is a four-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth after being in contention on the turn at his latest appearance over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Solid top-three chance on his best figures. EIGHTY GOLD (2) finished 10 lengths away in ninth at his last appearance over 1106m at this track (Turf) on July 17. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for him.
