Saratoga Race 2 - With Anticipation S. Stakes
HIGH OFFICIAL (3) impressed when successful on debut over 1710m at this track (Turf) six weeks ago. Has plenty of upside and can win again. BOLD LEADERSHIP (4) showed promise on debut last time out when in the money over 1710m at Saratoga Turf (Turf), beaten 0.1 lengths. Has plenty of upside so he should be in the finish again. LIAM'S LAW (2) landed his maiden success over this course and distance last time, scoring by 1.3 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and he cannot be discounted. HOWARD'S HOPE (1) won on debut last time out a month ago over 1710m at this track, getting home by one length. A bold showing is expected.
