Saratoga Race 9 - Commentator S. Stakes
IRON DOME (7) found one better when resuming last start at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) over 1609m after he was in the firing line on the corner. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring three times from six starts. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Best figures should see him run well. BANK FRENZY (6) hasn't raced since finishing third over 1609m in Listed grade at Aqueduct (Dirt) five months ago. Has a strong record when fresh, claiming three wins from six runs and proved too good first up last prep, is among the leading chances. DONEGAL SURGES (9) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at Aqueduct (Dirt) over 1408m, beaten 0.3 lengths. K Carmouche who has scored on him three times retains the mount. Capable of running a bold race. QUICK TO ACCUSE (2) had been rock-solid with five placings in a row before finishing fifth over 1408m at Aqueduct last start. Should be poised just off the lead. One of the better hopes.
