Saratoga Race 9 - John Morrissey S. Stakes
WHATCHATALKINABOUT (9) is a promising galloper who won at his only run last prep 12 weeks ago over 1207m in Group 3 grade at Aqueduct (Dirt). Has two wins to his name when fresh from a spell. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Will play a major role. BANK FRENZY (2) scored last start by 1.3 lengths in stakes class at this track (Dirt) over 1811m. Has a terrific record here with two wins and one placing from three starts. Best form puts him right in this. WYNSTOCK (3) has switched yards since scoring by 3.5 lengths at Aqueduct over 1811m on June 14. Can measure up for the new barn. DR KRAFT (1) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by 0.3 lengths over 1811m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Looks well placed so expect another big run.
