Saratoga Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Claiming
MR R T (5) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Likely improver with strong prospects. SFUMATO (8) is back after a break of ten weeks. At the last run before the layoff he finished fifth over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Hard to beat if back in good order as anticipated. BABY MEANIE (2) finished in the placings when a 4.5 lengths third on dirt at Aqueduct two back but then disappointed on turf last time at Aqueduct Turf over 1710m when fifth, finishing 5.5 lengths from the winner. Strong contender back on the dirt. Worth another chance. BARGAIN PURCHASE (1) raced once in the maiden preparation when seventh at Aqueduct (Dirt) over 1207m back on February 28. Blinkers added; should be competitive.

Second-up. First-up after 10 months ran last of 8 at Saratoga Turf on July 5 over 1710m, 16 len behind Capricious Outcome carrying 57kg at $6.55. Previously second-up ran second last of 10 at Gulfstream Park Turf on March 23 2025 over 1509m, 31 len behind Beach Gold with 56.5kg at $14.80. Unlikely to threaten.

Five-year-old gelding by Audible out of Star's Woman who has taken a long time to make it to the track. Might need the run.
