Saratoga Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Special Weight
RUFUS THE RED (1) turned in a moderate effort on debut last start when seventh at Saratoga (Dirt) over 1207m, beaten 7 lengths. Anticipating sharp improvement with the run under the belt. CYBERTAPPING (12) faced the starter for the first time and finished fourth last start at Saratoga (Dirt) over 1308m, beaten 11 lengths. Fitter and with the blinkers added is expected to be in the finish. CRYPTO KING (8) had support on debut last time out when he boxed on fairly to finish seventh, beaten 7 lengths over 1106m at Saratoga (Dirt). Can sneak into the finish. TROCA (4) is appearing for the first time. By Mind Control and hails from the Chad C Brown stable. Watch the market closely.
