ALTERNATE 28-11NinetyprcentmaddieJ Lezcano

COMMENTS: ROTKNEE just ran his fastest race and could be a step or two quicker in his second up. GUN PILOT is the even money morning line favorite and NYRA linemaker David Aragona is one of the best. ACCRETIVE ran a little faster and improved his pace numbers at the start and finish of his last race. GUN ITs best chance is close to the front. He tends to break well and has enough early speed to compete early versus these.

ALTERNATE 212-14Ice ChocolatJ L Ortiz

COMMENTS: CARL SPACKLER tied for the top last race speed and could be better in the second start after a layoff. CASA CREED should be close to the pace versus this group and also has some of the most late pace. TALK OF THE NATION likes to be upfront or close to it and that is where he will be today. MYSTERIOUS NIGHT has a pair of excellent workouts at Saratoga since coming from the Middle East

COMMENTS: CRUPI has a win and a pair of seconds in three at Saratoga including the top Spa speed figure by a wide margin. CHARGE IT hit a triple digit speed figure in five of his last 10 races and the rest have three combined. TIME FOR TROUBLE has some of his best works getting ready for his first race after a short rest. BENDOOG won his last easily and could be at his best in the third start after a layoff.

ALTERNATE 29-26Raging SeaF Prat

COMMENTS: IDIOMATIC is just two points from running six consecutive triple digit speed figures. She will be on the gas from go but is not lead dependent. RANDOMIZED has two big wins and a third at Saratoga. The third was her debut and only race as a two year old. PRETTY MISCHIEVOUS is a highly consistent horse and won her only Saratoga race at the wire. TIZZY IN THE SKY has enough back class to upset this field and has the best chance to find it with the lead.

ALTERNATE 215-15Frost FreeJ Ortiz

COMMENTS: PRINCE OF MONACO won three of his four races. The lone miss was in the Breeders Cup after checking in the first turn. VLAHOS showed speed and faded in his last. He should have more stamina in the second up with three works between starts. VALENTINE CANDY will hope for rain as he won both of his races on an off track and neither was close. NUTELLA FELLA could have the most upside in the race, making just his third start and has a win at Saratoga in his debut.

ALTERNATE 215-115American MonarchJ Lezcano

COMMENTS: STAR OF MYSTERY has competed well versus Group company in the UAE and England. She finished no more than two and half lengths from the winner in any of her races. COGBURN increased her speed figure in the last three outings. ARZAK won the last two times she returned from a layoff like today. MISCHIEF MAGIC is a Breeders Cup winner and will look to return to that form in the third up.

ALTERNATE 18-14Blazing SevensM Franco
ALTERNATE 220-11Castle ChaosD Davis

COMMENTS: WHITE ABARRIO is in peak form right now and minus regression may prove very difficult to beat for the rest of these. NATIONAL TREASURE probably needs the lead to win and could get it here but will be under pressure. POST TIME has eight wins with a second and third in 10 starts. He is an upgrade candidate if it is wet. HOIST THE GOLD is at his most dangerous when he is upfront early and our projections say he will be no worse than copilot.

ALTERNATE 215-14Strong QualityF Geroux

COMMENTS: MEASURED TIME runs effortlessly and then just hits an extra gear when needed. It will take a first class effort to get the best of him. NATIONS PRIDE won his lone trip over the Saratoga course with ease and it was at todays distance. PROGRAM TRADING has the goods to get to the winners circle and will not be deterred if the ground is wet. AL RIFFA has a pair of wins and two thirds in six races. The lone miss was a fourth by just a half length tiring late better in second up.

ALTERNATE 215-16DornochL Saez

COMMENTS: MINDFRAME has enough early speed to be upfront and his last pace has been off the charts in his two races. SIERRA LEONE makes the third start after a layoff and should be the favorite. SEIZE THE GREY will be better served if it rains as forecasted with two wins in routes and third in short sprint. MYSTIK DAN showed off the charts late pace winning the Grade III Southwest Stakes. Some of that would come in handy here.
