Saratoga Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Special Weight
A BOURBON FOR TOBY (2) was thereabouts last time out when third at this track (Turf) over 1911m, beaten 1.5 lengths. Yet to find winning form this prep but has been thereabouts with six placings from eight starts. Should be hard to stop. JOHNY'S RENDEZVOUS (1) is ready to win after he just missed last time, beaten a nose into second over 1609m at this track (Turf) after being in contention all the way. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. ORGONITE (7) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 1911m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. SALVATION (15) was prominent at the corner and finished second last time over 1609m at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 2.5 lengths. Will trim down second-up. Nicely placed to run well again.
