Saratoga Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Special Weight
U S S VALOR (4) was on debut at this track (Dirt) last start where he made a sustained run and finished third, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 1308m. Will be better for that experience and looks hard to beat. BELZONI (9) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing a nose from the winner in second over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Can get off the mark this time. MYSTRIX (2) pushed forward on debut last start and boxed on to finish second over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Has the speed to be prominent from an ideal gate. Sure to give a great sight. IMPLIED OPEN (8) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1308m at this track (Dirt), finishing third and beaten a head. Has upside and worth including.
