Saratoga Race 9 - Race 9 - Mdn Claiming
SPEIGHTFUL STORM (13) returned last time with a solid third at Aqueduct (Dirt) over 1207m after being in the firing line on the corner. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is good enough to play a major role. MYKONOS (2) is yet to break through after six starts. Placed two back then last time out was fifth, beaten 3 lengths, over 1207m at Aqueduct Turf (Turf). Key runner who can get off the mark. TWENTY ONE RED (11) turned in an eye-catching run over 1207m at Aqueduct Turf (Turf) last time, ridden back before coming home with a powerful run to finish third. Tough to stop again. BOOM SHOCKA BOOM (4) debuted seven weeks ago and was well supported when he finished fourth over 1207m at Aqueduct (Dirt), beaten 18 lengths. Plenty of scope for improvement.

Was well-supported at debut, 4th in a small field at Aqueduct on May 24 over 1207m, 18 len behind Solo Jim with 57kg at $2.30. Will have benefited from that outing and is likely to measure up.

Last start 7th of 12 at this track on June 3 over 1710m, 8 len behind Blame It On K J with 57kg at $38.58. Better than that recent moderate performance suggests.
