Saratoga Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Special Weight
DECIMATION (7) could only manage fifth on debut then improved last start but found one better over 1106m at this track, beaten 6 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. CARD MAN (2) is a two-year-old colt by Life Is Good out of Dover Dreams on debut for the Chad C Brown stable. Drawn nicely which is a big tick. Leading prospect on face value, with betting holding the key. Q B ROCKET (3) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of B H Cox. By Gun Runner from Ginja. Bold showing expected. MCCOY (1) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Cherie Devaux. By Vekoma from Fat Kat. Good draw a big help. Watch the market closely.
