Saratoga Race 9 - Mahony S. Stakes

GOVERNOR SAM (9) scored by 3.5 lengths last start in the G3 Quick Call Stakes at this track (Turf) over this distance after he was prominent at the bend. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring five times from eight starts. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Expecting a bold showing. INNOVATOR (1) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a second over 1106m at Ellis Park (Turf) when beaten 3.5 lengths. Today might be his day. JET SWEEP JOE (2) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when fifth, beaten 7 lengths, over 1106m in the G3 Quick Call Stakes at this track (Turf). Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. SATURDAY FLIRT (3) is a strong first-up performer who is fresh from a spell of nine weeks. Was in great form before the break with two consecutive wins, the latest over 1106m at this track. Capable of a top-three finish.
