Saratoga Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Claiming
STREAM IT (13) is back after a break of four months. At the last run before the layoff he finished fourth over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Commenced last prep with a minor placing at Aqueduct over 1609m. Set to return in style. MELODY MAN (9) returns after three months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 1006m at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic). Good effort to launch last prep when in the money at Gulfstream Park Turf over 1006m. No surprise if he was able to get off the mark. URGENCY (4) is a eight-start maiden who is knocking on the door, the latest effort a solid second at Aqueduct Turf (Turf) over 1710m after being in contention on the corner. Finds a tougher race but he has the talent to test this line-up. VIVALDI (10) is back from a break of ten weeks. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when tenth over 1710m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf). Can make his presence felt while fresh.
