Saratoga Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming
THE BOONDOCKER (7) has returned in good order this preparation. Ran well but found a couple better last time over 1710m at Monmouth Park (Dirt) after registering his maiden win first-up the run before. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Expecting a bold showing. MO GO (1) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at this track (Turf) over 1710m last time, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. SHATTUCK (2) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a ninth over 1710m at Ellis Park (Turf). Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is right in contention. BLOWN COVER (3) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fifth over 1811m at this track (Dirt). Finds a more suitable contest and can find winning form again.
