Saratoga Race 6 - Saratoga Special S. Stakes
BOOKED (4) is a progressive type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Recorded back to back wins with a 6 length success over 1207m in the G3 Sanford Stakes at this track (Dirt) last time. Unbeaten here and will go close again. FLIGHT COMMAND (6) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 1106m at Aqueduct (Dirt) five-and-a-half weeks ago. Promising type who can measure up again. TWINKLE TOWN (3) was in control from the outset to score on debut over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) five weeks ago. Sure to play a major role. HOW'S AL TODAY (1) raced on the speed from the outset and went to score by 1.75 lengths on debut last start over 1106m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Not to be discounted.

Had two starts to date. When well in the market at debut, scored a big 7 len win at Gulfstream Park June 6 over 905m defeating Stick Talk carrying 54.5kg at $3.70. Second-up eased back early on 4th in a small field at this track in the G3 Sanford Stakes on July 4 over 1207m, 17 len behind Booked with 55.5kg at $7.02. Preferred in something easier.
