COMMENTS: MONTEBELLO just beat the one horse and now goes out first time for Todd Pletcher. PRICE DISCIPLINE speed number keeps improving and is a head away from being a perfect three for three. BARESE has been in some tough races and can run any style. RELATE goes from turf to dirt.

COMMENTS: FINGALS COVE is a perfect three for three and has yet to be challenged. LET HER INSPIRE U has won two in a row and has speed from the inside gate in this small field. VENTI VALENTINE got a couple months off now gets some class relief. GALAXINA has won three of four on the dirt.

COMMENTS: ACOUSTIC AVE has speed from the rail and will look to debut his maiden win. ANDIAMO A FIRENZE has been in tougher races now stretches out a little further. DONEGAL SURGES is hoping for a fast pace to close into like he got in debut. BELT PARKWAY has speed and will try to use it to his advantage.

COMMENTS: CLASSIC LADY makes her third start after a five month layoff and is always around at the end. MARVELOUS MAUDE checks all the boxes and Irad Ortiz Jr. has won four of the six races he has been aboard. MAKE MISCHIEF makes her turf debut and has trained well on it. RUNAWAY RUMOR will be coming late.

COMMENTS: SOMELIKEITHOTBROWN likes Saratoga and has the speed to get right out in front. CITY MAN had a career best speed number last time out. OCALA DREAM will look to regain form as he goes the distance he prefers. CROSS BORDER has good late pace numbers and has won six of nine races at Saratoga.
