Saratoga Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Special Weight
ONEPAC (2) has been in the money at both runs this time in work and the maiden win looks imminent following a good third over 1308m at Aqueduct (Dirt) last time. Among the leading chances. CRITERIA (6) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished third, beaten 10 lengths, over 1408m at Keeneland (Dirt). Placed to advantage so expect a big run. PARTY ANIMAL (11) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1308m at Aqueduct, beaten 3 lengths into fourth. Meets a stronger field but he is worth another chance. HERO DECLARED (1) has not been to the races since he finished second on debut over 1308m at this track on August 16. Ticks all the right boxes.
