Saratoga Race 3 - Pennine Ridge S. Stakes
TALK TO ME JIMMY (10) lines up on the back of a 2 length second over 1811m at Aqueduct. Is rarely far away and has amassed two wins from his appearances. Looks to have an edge on most of these. WEST END KID (9) had a bit on his rivals last time with an impressive 4 lengths win over 1710m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf). Is going well this campaign, recording two wins from three starts. Sure to go very well. GLAVINE (8) broke through for his maiden win over 1710m at Aqueduct Turf (Turf) last time, scoring comfortably. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Tricky draw to overcome but he is right in the mix again. BLACKMAIL (5) was an impressive first-up winner last time out in an easier race over 1609m at Listed level at Aqueduct Turf (Turf), getting home by 0.3 lengths. Won at his only second-up appearance and is among the better chances.
