Saratoga Race 2 - Mike Lee S. Stakes
MO PLEX (6) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by a nose over 1408m in Listed grade at Aqueduct (Dirt). Meets some better types this time but another big run is on the cards. PRINCE VALIANT (3) is a promising type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Scored last time out over 1308m at Listed level at Aqueduct (Dirt), making it three wins on the trot. Rates well and looks a definite winning hope. SOONTOBEKING (1) lifted strongly to score by 0.1 lengths two runs back in Listed grade at Aqueduct (Dirt) then ran second over 1308m in Listed grade at Aqueduct (Dirt) last time in tougher grade. Eric Cancel who has scored on him three times retains the mount. Has winning claims on best figures. TRAIN THE TRAINER (5) went forward and proved too strong last time, scoring with 5 lengths to spare over 1308m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Solid claims.
