Saratoga Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Special Weight
ASBURY PARK (1) has not raced since being well supported on his debut on August 17 over 1710m at this track (Turf) when he finished fifth, beaten 2 lengths. Will improve and looks well placed. TOM COLLINS (6) is a seven-start maiden who finished fifth after being prominent at the corner at his most recent appearance over 1811m at Churchill Downs (Turf). Rates highly in this field and can turn things around. RETEKO (10) has filled a minor placing on three occasions in eight starts. Failed to add to the tally last time out when fourth over 1609m at Aqueduct (Turf). Has a good record at this distance with three top-three results from five starts. Should be poised just off the lead. One to consider. KULAPAT (11) finished third last start over 1609m at Aqueduct (Turf), beaten 2.75 lengths. Will be rock-hard fit. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race.
