Saratoga Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Special Weight
OUR PREFERRED PAL (14) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when second over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt) when she was in the firing line all the way. Looks well placed so expect another big run. HELLO BEAUTY (12) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1811m at Churchill Downs, beaten 5 lengths. Beautifully placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. ON A SUMMER DAY (7) finished second, beaten 3 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1609m at Aqueduct (Turf). Finds a tougher race but a big run is on the cards. TRULLI MAGIC (8) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish third, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 1207m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Blinkers come off. Expected to be competitive.
