Saratoga Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Special Weight
MUSIC IN MOTION (9) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just 0.8 lengths from the winner in third over 1207m at Saratoga after being in contention on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. STORY OF RORY (8) stuck on well last start to finish second over 1106m at Laurel Turf (Turf) after showing good early speed. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within his grasp. TRUE LEGEND (6) is a talented gelding who tackled a tougher race at his last run on December 6 and finished 14th behind Sunday Boy over 1408m in stakes class at Aqueduct (Dirt). Should park just off the speed. Should be involved in the finish. SULTAN HASSAN (5) was in contention on the corner and finished second last start over 1207m at Aqueduct Inner Turf (Turf), beaten 5 lengths. Fitter for that run. Sure to be thereabouts.
