Saratoga Race 8 - True North S. Stakes

BENTORNATO (3) is back from a spell of ten weeks. Raced once last campaign and finished second over 1200m in the G1 Dubai Golden Shaheen at Meydan Dirt. Change of jockey to I Ortiz Jr who has a strong record when aboard, including three wins. Leading contender. BOOK'EM DANNO (6) resumes after finishing in the money over 1408m in the G2 Carter Handicap at Aqueduct (Dirt) on April 4, adding to his solid overall record. Goes very well when fresh from a spell with four wins from five starts so he should feature in the finish. IMAGINATION (2) opened this prep last start with a fourth, beaten 5.5 lengths, over 1408m at Churchill Downs. One of the main contenders. FAUST (5) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1207m in the G3 Maryland Sprint Stakes at Laurel (Dirt). Can give a tremendous sight again.
