J Rosario

* EXACTA: 2,3,5,6 Box

* TRIFECTA: 2,3,6/2,3,5,6/2,3, 5,6,7

COMMENTS: MISCHEVIOUS ALEX has the top pedigree for the distance/surface and the top jockey/trainer combo. WHITMORE owns the highest speed figure for the distance, meaning he has the most potential upside. FIRENZE FIRE has good early speed and some of the best late pace numbers in the field, potentially a winning combo. THREE TECHNIQUE has finished in the money in eight of nine on a fast track with two wins, three seconds and thirds.

M Franco

* EXACTA: 2,3,5/2,3,4,5

* TRIFECTA: 5/2,3/1,2,3,4

COMMENTS: ESSENTIAL QUALITY is the best horse in the race, should make easy work of this field minus some unexpected stuff. MASQUEPARADEs recent work says he could be a horse for the Saratoga course. WEYBURN should be close to the front of the pack and speed is the way to win. KEEPMEINMINDs last race speed figure was above par for this level.

COMMENTS: This is a very competitive race, and any can win. CROSS BORDERs record at Saratoga, five wins and a second in six, is too good to get past. CHANNEL CAT is dropping in class as measured by purse size and his last race was above par for this level. MOON OVER MIAMI ran a last race speed figure more than good enough to get the job done here with a repeat effort. CHANNEL MAKER unquestionably has the back-class, concerned about the long trip back from the UAE and some dull works since returning.
