Saratoga Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
FLORIDA PATRIOT (11) made a promising debut over 1207m at Aqueduct Turf (Turf) last start, finishing second and beaten 0.3 lengths. Breaks from a wide draw but a big run is anticipated. NAKOMA (12) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1207m at Aqueduct Turf (Turf), finishing third and beaten 2.75 lengths. Likely improver who is expected to be in the finish. BOURBON MILK PUNCH (4) closed last campaign with five consecutive minor placings and is back today after a break of seven months. Should park just off the speed. Capable of testing this field. MEDICI ROAD (8) resumes from a spell of ten months. Could only manage to finish fifth at the latest run over 1710m at Saratoga Inner Turf (Turf). Rates highly on best form and a bright return wouldn't surprise.

Jumped at big odds at debut, ran last of 10 at Keeneland Turf on April 16 over 1106m, 11 len behind Lucy Mcgee carrying 53.5kg at $37.25. Might need more time based on that poor debut.

Previously second-up 3rd of 7 at Aqueduct on April 18 2025 over 1408m, 6 len behind Limes Don't Lie with 53.5kg at $4.45. One of the top chances.
