Saratoga Race 11 - Race 11 - Mdn Special Weight
IRISH GOODBYE (11) met with solid support last start over 1408m at Aqueduct (Dirt) when second, beaten 3 lengths. Tricky draw but worth another chance. HURRICANE KAZ (5) made progress last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1207m at Aqueduct after being in the firing line on the corner. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. KING FARRO (4) raced on the speed from the outset when resuming last start and finished third, beaten 6 lengths, over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Goes up a rung or two but he is capable of running another bold race. ICE HOUSE (1) returned from a spell four weeks ago when he was beaten 6 lengths into fourth over 1207m at Aqueduct Turf. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 2nd in a small field at Aqueduct on May 10 over 1207m, 4 len behind Blue Roof Beau carrying 55kg at $2.63. The start before that second last in a small field at Aqueduct in LR on April 11 over 1308m, 17 len behind Sculcos Folly carrying 54.5kg at $15.62. Can improve again. Top chance.

Comes off a 51 day let-up. Most recently 6th of 9 at Aqueduct Inner Turf on April 17 over 1207m, 7 len behind Moonlight Drive carrying 54.5kg at $9.15. The run before that 6th of 9 at Aqueduct on March 14 over 1408m, 5 len behind Love Coin with 55.5kg at $7.09. Can do a lot better than that last run.
