Saratoga Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Special Weight
COMMITMENT FUND (5) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1308m at this track (Dirt) when second, beaten half a length. Likely improver so he will prove tough to beat. GADGET PLAY (6) has filled a minor placing at both runs to date, the latest when beaten 2.75 lengths into second over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Has upside and is among the leading chances. SIDEARM (2) gave away a big start at the top of the straight last start and finished 4 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Looks to be in the right race to play a big role. IZE A RUNNER (4) didn't do a lot on debut five weeks ago, finishing 8 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Plenty of scope for improvement. Not to be discounted.

Comes here off a 49-day let-up. Last start ran second last in a small field at this track on July 5 over 1308m, 4 len behind Neigh Baby with 57kg at $7.36. The race before that held ground to the line 2nd of 8 at Aqueduct Turf on June 11 over 1609m, 1.3 len behind Quiet Power with 57kg at $8.62. Capable of more – worth another chance.
