Saratoga Race 6 - Race 6 - Mdn Special Weight
UNCLESHANE (7) showed good early speed last start on debut and fought on well to hold second, beaten 3 lengths, over 1006m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Leading player with plenty of improvement in store. BEACH SANDALS (6) ran well on debut last start to finish second over 1006m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) in a tougher race. Sure to take a lot from that hitout so he will be hard to beat. BOOKED (9) was well fancied on debut last start and was not far off the mark, finishing second and beaten 5 lengths over 905m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Must be included among the main hopes. JUST A HOLIDAY (3) is a well-related two-year-old colt making his first appearance at the races. By Justify from Toni's Hollyday who has produced some fine gallopers, including a winner at the elite level. Hails from the strong juvenile stable of W A Ward. Should get all the favours from this good gate and any market lead would add to the confidence.

At debut, 2nd of 9 at Churchill Downs on May 14 over 1006m, 5.5 len behind Captain Luke with 54kg at $10.02. Sure to take a lot from that experience and makes plenty of appeal.
