Saratoga Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Special Weight
TERM PREMIUM (2) settled back on debut last start then made a dash forward before the turn and stuck on well to finish second over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Has plenty of upside and should be in the finish again. IRISH GOODBYE (4) found the line nicely to grab second last time out over 1308m at this track (Dirt). All set to run well. ROADIE (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1308m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. BUBSTER (3) didn't do a lot on debut two-and-a-half weeks ago, finishing 7 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1207m at Aqueduct Inner Turf (Turf). Open to plenty of improvement. Anticipating a better performance.

Resumes from a spell. Finished off last preparation seventh of 9 at Aqueduct April 18 over 1408m, 21 len behind Max Money with 54.5kg at $6.19. On debut second in a small field at Aqueduct March 29 over 1207m, 1.5 len behind B Provocateur carrying 55.5kg at $2.64. Might need the run.

Was well-supported at debut, raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 8 at Aqueduct Inner Turf on June 27 over 1207m, 7 len behind Super Dave carrying 55kg at $3.25. Encouraging signs on debut and is worth following up.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 39 day let-up. Most recently crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 2nd of 13 at this track on June 7 over 1308m, 1.5 len behind King Farro carrying 55kg at $2.37. The run before that 2nd of 9 at Aqueduct on April 18 over 1408m, 3 len behind Max Money carrying 54.5kg at $1.94. Best form should see him measure right up.

First-starter by Upstart out of Forever Smart. Likely to need the run.
