Saratoga Race 11 - Forego S. Stakes
BOOK'EM DANNO (5) has won at both starts this campaign, the latest by 1.3 lengths over 1207m in stakes class at Monmouth Park (Dirt). Has a strong record at the third run in so a big run is on the cards. BANISHING (7) scored by one length when resuming last start at Listed level at Ellis Park (Dirt) over 1308m after he was in contention on the corner. Has a very good record over today's journey with two wins from four starts. Stiffer assignment here but is expected to be in the finish. HYMN (2) had been in sparkling form winning three races on end before most recently finished second over 1207m at this track. Can return to his winning form. SENIOR OFFICER (6) recorded a strong on-pace win here last time by 0.3 lengths over 1308m. Much tougher essay this time but cannot be underestimated.
