Saratoga Race 9 - Alfred G. Vanderbilt S. Stakes

BUILT (8) was handy on straightening and went on to finish second last start over 1308m in the G3 BANGO (Kelly's Landing) STAKES at Churchill Downs (Dirt), beaten half a length as favourite. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is one of the key runners. HYMN (6) lifted strongly to score last time with 5.5 lengths to spare over 1207m in Listed grade at Laurel (Dirt), making it three in a row. Should park just off the speed. Among the leading chances. JUST BEAT THE ODDS (4) resumed last time out and finished third over 1207m at Delaware Park, beaten 2 lengths. Well placed and likely to feature. CRAZY MASON (2) ran sixth at his latest appearance over 1609m at Churchill Downs, clocking in 5.5 lengths from the winner. Generally goes well here with a win and two minor placings from three tries. Profiles to run well.

Form hard to fault. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; scored a big 5.5 len win at Laurel LR June 27 over 1207m defeating Celtic Contender carrying 57kg at $2.70. The race before that won by 1.5 len at Churchill Downs May 16 over 1408m defeating I Got Game with 56kg at $3.49. Hard to beat if he brings his A-game.
