Saratoga Race 7 - Race 7 - Mdn Claiming
PRIVATE FLIGHT (4) Picked up late ground when 3rd last run at this venue. First start for a new trainer. Producing consistent results this preparation. Genuine threat. TURBO LAUNCH (8) Gave away some ground when 10th last run at Churchill Downs. Looking past the last run but dropping in distance. In good form this preparation. Goes close. THUNDERTAKER (1) First up after 10 weeks and was strong late when 2nd first up last preparation at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Coming to a new trainer and drawn well. Finishes off strongly. Can take this out. GO DHARMA (6) Back from a break. Folded up in the straight when 5th last run at Aqueduct. Likely to bounce back but coming back in trip. Contender.

First up after 10 weeks and flashed home late into 2nd beaten by just over 7L first up last preparation at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Racing for a new trainer. Has definite claims.

Odds of $36.00 and looked outclassed when 7th last start at this venue but has a good draw. Likely to be well placed early. Will be a tough ask.

At $7.00 fairly underwhelming when 7th last start at Aqueduct but having second career run. Have to respect the recent stable form. Might have to make up considerable ground. Hard to see it being good enough.

Put in a competitive run when placing 3rd last run around here. Change in trainer. Looking sharp on the track this campaign. Strong chance.

Was $6.00 and didn't attack the line when 7th last run around here and dropping back to a shorter trip. Should be swooping on the field late. Betting is the best guide.

Fresh after a break. Odds of $6.50 and weakened to finish 5th last run at Aqueduct. Likely to bounce back but will be facing a significant drop in distance. Represents value at a price.

Jumped at $14.00 and faded away to finish 10th last run at Churchill Downs. Looking past the last run but will be down in distance. Expect a forward showing.
