Saratoga Race 9 - Albany S. Stakes
TALK TO ME JIMMY (6) is a speedy colt who returned from a break with a win over 1710m at Listed level at Finger Lakes (Dirt). Has a high cruising speed. Will play a major role. ONEBIGBEAUTFULBILL (4) remains unbeaten after two starts, scoring again last time over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Rates highly and hard to knock the winning form. TRICKY BUSINESS (1) just missed last time when 0.3 lengths away in second at this track (Dirt) over 1408m. Genuine contender. TUNING IN (7) pushed forward and was a determined winner by half a length over 1609m at this track (Dirt) on debut five-and-a-half weeks ago. Can sneak into the finish again.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 43 day let-up. Most recently won by 1.5 len at this track on July 11 over 1609m defeating Judge Boushay with 55kg at $5.25. The run before that 4th in a small field in stakes class at Aqueduct Inner Turf at Aqueduct Inner Turf on June 20 over 1207m, 3.5 len behind Nessuna Pagina carrying 56kg at $5.34. Genuine hope on best form.

Looking to keep his unbeaten record intact. When well in the market on debut, won by 0.5 len at this track on July 5 over 1207m defeating Isthereanormalwife with 55.5kg at $3.54. Last time out won by a 0.3 len at this track on August 9 over 1408m defeating Tricky Business with 55.5kg at $5.15. Well-placed and should prove hard to beat.

Most recently ran on from midfield; 2nd of 10 at this track on August 7 over 1609m, 3 len behind You're Lookin Good with 55kg at $11.43. The run before that 3rd in a small field at Monmouth Park on July 12 over 1207m, 6 len behind Redacted with 50kg at $8.20. Likely to find them too smart.

Second run back. Comes off a 41-day let-up. First-up after two months won by 1.3 len in stakes class at Finger Lakes at Finger Lakes on July 13 over 1710m defeating Sculcos Folly carrying 56kg at $2.18. Previously second-up 8th of 12 in the G2 Wood Memorial at Aqueduct on April 4 over 1811m, 4.5 len behind Albus with 56kg at $5.60. Strips fitter and is an excellent winning chance.

Freshened since getting off the mark on debut; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.5 len at this track on July 16 over 1609m defeating Bubster carrying 55kg at $9.75. Improvement likely.
