Saratoga Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Claiming
NO COMPROMISE (10) returns after ten weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 1207m at Aqueduct Turf (Turf). Has ability and can get off the mark. INK LIES (4) resumed last start over 1106m at this track (Turf) and showed little early speed, settling well back but hitting the line hard to finish third, beaten 4 lengths. Will be a major player again. DEPORTED (7) is a three-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the W A Ward yard. Finished off last campaign with a fourth at Kempton Park All Weather three months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but is in a nice race. Leading player expected to feature. HIMOTHY (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1308m at Ellis Park, beaten 8 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects. Something for the Multiples: ESCAPADES (5)

Previously second-up 6th of 8 at Keeneland Turf on April 15 over 1106m, 4 len behind Taterpie carrying 53.5kg at $17.61. Ready for improvement with that run under the belt.
