Saratoga Race 8 - Hill 'N' Dale Metropolitan H. Stakes

FIERCENESS (1) scored by 1.5 lengths over 1710m in the G2 Alysheba Stakes at Churchill Downs (Dirt) last start when first up from a spell. Impeccable record at this course, winning all three starts. Likely to feature. WHITE ABARRIO (2) returns from the paddock after closing last prep with two consecutive wins, the most recent over 1710m in the G3 Ghostzapper Stakes at Gulfstream Park (Dirt). Has a strong association with I Ortiz Jr who has been in the saddle for his last two wins. Sure to run well. JUST A TOUCH (4) has been a regular in the winners' stall of late including last start in dominant fashion over 1811m at Keeneland (Dirt). Winning rider Florent Geroux retains the mount. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is worth serious consideration. RAGING TORRENT (5) is a smart galloper who won at his last run before a spell over 1600m in the G2 Godolphin Mile at Meydan Dirt in an easier race than this. Has a high cruising speed. Must be respected.
