Saratoga Race 10 - Jim Dandy S. Presented By Mohegan Sun Stakes

COMMANDMENT (5) was right in contention when they turned for home and kept finding to finish second last start over 2012m in the G1 The Belmont Stakes at this track (Dirt), beaten 1.3 lengths. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is a major player. CHIP HONCHO (1) finished third two runs back in the G1 Preakness Stakes at Laurel (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by one length over 1811m in the G3 Ohio Derby at Thistledown (Dirt). Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. RENEGADE (3) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 2012m in the G1 The Belmont Stakes at this track (Dirt). Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. ASKED AND ANSWERED (2) could only manage fourth on dirt over 1811m at this track two back then couldn't find the top-three on turf over 1609m at Saratoga Inner Turf more recently. Tougher company here but is among the better hopes.
