Saratoga Race 9 - Race 9 - Mdn Special Weight
COORDINATOR (5) met with solid support last start over 1710m at Aqueduct Turf (Turf) when second, beaten 3.5 lengths. Strong winning chance. FELINE CURIOUS (8) raced on the speed and was game in defeat when a close second last start over 1811m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf). Has registered two minor placings from three runs this preparation. Another big run is on the cards. C J STAR (10) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing third last time out over 1609m at Aqueduct Turf (Turf). Tackling a deeper field this time but he is good enough to figure in the finish. ASKED AND ANSWERED (13) was prominent at the corner and finished second last start over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt), beaten half a length. Meets some better types this time but he has the ability to test this field.

Returns from a 34-day let-up. Last start raced on the pace when 3rd of 9 at Saratoga on June 5 over 1811m, 6 len behind Copious with 57kg at $55.34. The race before that 3rd in a small field at Gulfstream Park on May 8 over 1609m, 1.75 len behind Moonstrocity carrying 57kg at $12.50. Unlikely to threaten.
