Saratoga Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Claiming
CHRIS'S SONG (1) finished 4.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1207m at Aqueduct six weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Sure to prove very tough to beat. BARGAIN PURCHASE (11) is a two-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Can come on from that run and looks a serious contender. BYE FOR NOW (4) has been in the betting at both starts but hasn't managed to live up to market expectations. Most recently finished fifth over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 12 lengths. Cannot be dismissed. KINGS LANDYN (8) was unwanted in betting on debut last start but ran a strong race, finishing third and beaten 5.5 lengths over 1408m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Has upside and worth including.
