Saratoga Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Special Weight
BUBSTER (7) missed the placings two runs back on debut then improved last start but found one better over 1609m at this track, beaten half a length after being in contention on the turn. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MODEST MACLEAN (6) settled towards the back last start on debut then pushed forward and boxed on well to finish second over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Sure to take a lot from that run and should be in the finish again. TERM PREMIUM (8) was 13 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1609m at this track (Dirt) last time following a minor placing on debut the run before. Blinkers added. Well placed and gets his chance to break through. BIG FROSTY (4) has been freshened up since he finished fifth over 1609m in stakes class at Saratoga Inner Turf (Turf) three-and-a-half months ago. Deserves another chance.

Had two starts to date. At long odds at debut, 9th of 13 at this track on June 7 over 1308m, 18 len behind King Farro carrying 55kg at $43.38. Last start ran second last of 11 at Saratoga Turf on July 11 over 1710m, 5.5 len behind Manor Park with 55kg at $40.47. Others are much more appealing.

Second run back. First-up after six months sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 at this track on August 2 over 1408m, 6 len behind Music In Motion with 55.5kg at $8.09. Previously second-up 3rd of 7 at Aqueduct on December 10 over 1207m, 4 len behind Game For It carrying 54kg at $5.61. Expecting improvement and is among the better chances.

Comes off a 36 day let-up. Last start 6th of 8 at this track on July 17 over 1811m, 9 len behind Antietam with 57kg at $50.33. The start before that 2nd in a small field at Aqueduct on June 13 over 1811m, 3.5 len behind Magnum's Macrobrst carrying 57kg at $7.26. Better off investing elsewhere.

Having third race start. When well in the market at debut, raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 8 at Aqueduct Inner Turf on June 27 over 1207m, 7 len behind Super Dave with 55kg at $3.25. Second-up rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd in a small field at this track on July 16 over 1609m, 0.5 len behind Tuning In with 55kg at $9.26. Genuine contender in this suitable contest.
