Saratoga Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Special Weight
GENERATIONAL (6) stepped out on his debut over 1106m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf) three weeks ago and finished fifth, beaten 5 lengths. Big chance with race experience now on board. BEACH SANDALS (5) was lining up for just the second time last start when sixth over 1106m at Saratoga, beaten 18 lengths. Worth another chance. JUST A HOLIDAY (3) had admirers on debut last time out over 1106m at Saratoga (Dirt) but was safely held in eighth, beaten 23 lengths. Has scope for plenty of improvement. Worth including this line-up. PIRATE SHIP (8) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Joe Sharp. By Midshipman from La Perla Nera. Watch the market closely.
