Saratoga Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Special Weight
HADRIAN'S WALL (8) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of five months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1811m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Has ability and can get off the mark. COMMERCE (3) was well supported on debut last start and turned in a strong effort to finish second over 1710m at Keeneland (Dirt). Should improve sharply and this looks a nice race. DARK ASSAULT (9) was prominent at the turn and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt), beaten 4 lengths. Going up a level this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. COPIOUS (6) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish third over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Improvement in store with added fitness and the blinkers removed.

Most recently 3rd in a small field at Gulfstream Park on May 8 over 1609m, 1.75 len behind Moonstrocity with 57kg at $12.50. The start before that 3rd of 8 at Gulfstream Park on March 27 over 1408m, 2.5 len behind Wearebackyoungman with 57kg at $6.20. Not far away last time but hard to have in this contest.

At only start last preparation sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 10 at Gulfstream Park on February 28 over 1207m, 3 len behind Lincoln's Law carrying 55.5kg at $6.50. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
