Info	OR	Days since last run	Age	Jockey
3rd (8) Warlander	2	Kendrick Carmouche	Steven Asmussen	Dam won twice at 1m. Could have a say on his debut.
1st (2) Simulate	2	Jose Lezcano	William Mott	Dam unraced. Finished 7l behind Pharoah's Dynasty when sixth of 9 at 11-1 on his racecourse debut at Belmont At The Big A over 6f (good) last month. Needs to improve.
2nd (5) States' Rights	2	Luis Saez	Cherie Devaux	Dam won three times at 6f and 1m. Finished 14l behind Owen Almighty when sixth of 10 at 13-1 on his racecourse debut at Churchill Downs over 5f last month. Place claims.
4th (7) Westbeach	2	Tyler Gaffalione	Brendan Walsh	Dam won four times at 1m and 1m 1f. Beaten 1 1/4l by Pharoah's Dynasty when second of 9 at 13-1 on his racecourse debut at Belmont At The Big A over 6f (good) last month. The one to beat.
(13) Insubordination	2	Eric Cancel	George Weaver	Dam won twice at 1m. Reserve.
(1) Flying Mohawk	2	L Dettori	Whitworth Beckman	Dam a lightly raced maiden. Could get involved.
(3) Atomic Age	2	Flavien Prat	Chad Brown	Dam won at 1m. The market can guide.
(4) Authentic Legend	2	Manuel Franco	Todd Pletcher	Dam won at 6f. Any market support should not be ignored.
(6) Seattle Road	2	Jose Ortiz	Thomas Amoss	Dam won twice at 1m. The betting could provide all the clues.
(9) Bestfriend Rocket	2	Junior Alvarado	William Mott	Dam won three times between 6f and 1m. Best watched on debut.
(10) Barricade	2	Irad Ortiz Jr	Todd Pletcher	Dam won four times at 7f and 1m. A market check is advised.
(11) Spurgeon	2	Brian Jr Hernandez	Kenneth McPeek	Half-brother to Puckered, won at 1m. Reserve.
(12) Pacific Highway	2	Luis Rivera Jr	Patrick Reynolds	Half-brother to Midnight Shine, won 12 times between 6f and 1m. Beaten 16l behind Classic Time at 25-1 when eighth of 10 on his racecourse debut at Saratoga over 5f earlier this month. He is wearing blinkers for the first time. Reserve.

WEST BEACH produced a highly encouraging debut effort when he hit the crossbar last month and, with normal improvement, he could prove hard to beat. Newcomers Atomic Age and Authentic Legend need to be monitored in the market.

Race 2: 18:07 Saratoga Race 2 - Maiden Special Weight

Info	OR	Days since last run	Age	Jockey
4th (4) Twirling Vine	5	Romero Maragh	Lisa Lugovich	Placed in three of 11 starts. Beaten 8l behind Instamatic at 25-1 when 9th of 10 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 6f (good) in April. Others look more appealing options.
3rd (2) Executive Move	3	Jaime Torres	Charlton Baker	Finished 8l behind Doc Sullivan when fifth of 11 at 28-1 on his racecourse debut at Aqueduct over 6f in December last year. He will need build on that if he wants to have a say.
1st (6) Noonzio	3	Kendrick Carmouche	Michelle Giangiulio	Dam won at 1m. Hard to rule out.
2nd (7) Sorority Prank	3	Dylan Davis	Chris Englehart	Placed in five of 11 starts. Finished 6l behind Z Dancer when sixth of 10 at 22-1 on his latest outing at Belmont At The Big A over 1m (good) last month. Worth a second look.
(1) Leo's Reward	3	John Velazquez	David Donk	Dam unraced. A newcomer to take seriously.
(3) Iron Man Ira	3	Irad Ortiz Jr	Richard Dutrow, Jr	Placed twice in four starts. Finished 7l behind Hagrid's Flame when fourth of 6 at 9-10fav on his latest outing at Belmont At The Big A over 1m last month. Capable of being involved.

(8) Crescendo's Rein	3	Joel Rosario	Charlton Baker	Half-brother to All The Diamonds, won three times at 5f and 6f. Best watched.

IRON MAN IRA put in an underwhelming display when fourth in a similar contest but if he can run to the level of either his second or third start, he could be the one to beat. Tinebar and newcomer Leo's Reward also merit consideration.

Race 3: 18:40 Saratoga Race 3 - Claiming

Info	OR	Days since last run	Age	Jockey
2nd (3) Nolo Contesto	8	Javier Castellano	Fernando Abreu	It has won four times from 6f to 1m. Finished behind Fromanothamutha when fourth of 7 at 13-5 on its latest outing at Belmont At The Big A over 1m last month. This looks easier.

4th (1) Market Alert	6	Eric Cancel	Mertkan Kantarmaci	Has won eight races from 5f to 1m. Finished 5l behind Printrack when fourth of 7 at 15-4 on his latest outing at Belmont At The Big A over 7f last month. Could land a blow.
1st (11) Amundson	8	Flavien Prat	Mertkan Kantarmaci	Has won 14 races from 6f to 7f. A winner at 9-5 at Belmont At The Big A over 7f on his latest outing earlier this month, beating Gentleman Joe by 4l. He has to be of interest.
(2) Dangerous Ride	4	Manuel Franco	Rob Atras	He has won three times from 5f to 7f. Finished 5l behind Excellent Timing when fourth of 8 at 19-2 on his latest outing at Saratoga over 6f last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Michelle Nevin. Others appeal more.
(5) The Bullion Bomber	4	Irad Ortiz Jr	David Jacobson	He has won three times from 6f to 1m including 2 wins on the all-weather (1 PO). Beaten 1l by Departure when second of 6 at 11-10fav on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m in March. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Doug O Neill. Could make his presence felt.
(6) Perfect Flight	5	Ramon Vazquez	Michael Maker	He has won four times at 1m. Beaten 13l behind Elusive Target at 4-1 when last of 8 on his latest outing at Churchill Downs over 1m last month. Looks vulnerable once more.

(9) Charlie Five O	6	Tyler Gaffalione	R Rodriguez	Winner of five races from 6f to 7f. Finished 7l behind Alpine Thunder when sixth of 7 at 7-1 on his latest outing at Monmouth Park over 6f last month. Needs to put that effort behind him.

AMUNDSON successfully completed the hat-trick when he struck by just under four lengths last time and, considering the manner of that victory, he can go in again. Market Alert and The Bullion Bomber can follow him home.

Race 4: 19:13 Saratoga Race 4 - Allowance

Info	OR	Days since last run	Age	Jockey
3rd (8) Edified	3	Ricardo Jr Santana	Steven Asmussen	A winner at 6f. Third of seven behind Pure Force beaten 6l at 11-1 on his latest outing at Churchill Downs over 7f last month. Could land a blow.

2nd (4) Mariachi	4	Kendrick Carmouche	John Kimmel	He has won three times at 6f. Third of eight behind Jefferson Street beaten 9l at 16-1 on his latest outing at Saratoga over 6f last month. This looks beyond him.

(2) Kunshan Bridge	5	Flavien Prat	Mertkan Kantarmaci	Winner of five races from 6f to 7f. Finished 11l behind Illuminare when fifth of six at 10-1 on his latest outing at Saratoga over 7f earlier this month. Opposable.
(3) General Banker	4	Dylan Davis	James Ferraro	He has won three times from 6f to 1m. A winner at 11-2 at Aqueduct over 1m (good) on his latest outing in February, beating Bourbon Chase. Another good run can be expected.
(6) Leddy	5	Omar Moreno Hernandez	Chandradat Goberdhan	He has won four times at 6f. Beaten 9l behind Disarmed at 70-1 when eighth of nine on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 6f in December last year. Difficult to recommend.
(7) Be The Boss	5	Tyler Gaffalione	Michael Maker	Winner of five races from 6f to 7f. Finished 4 1/2l behind Subrogate when fourth of seven at 14-5 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 6f in April. Makes limited appeal.

A taking winner on debut over further, SPEAK EASY is entitled to have plenty more improvement forthcoming and he is preferred to Forrest City and Notah.

(8) Special Dispatch	3	Flavien Prat	Thomas Amoss	A winner at 1m. Third of six behind Furious Anger beaten at 9-4 on his latest outing at Churchill Downs over 1m last month. Needs to bounce back.
(9) Brilliant Man	3	Florent Geroux	Eric Reed	A winner at 1m. Finished 7l behind Sir Greylind when fourth of eight at 5-1 on his latest outing at Churchill Downs over 1m in May. Tough ask.

HAVE YOU HEARD has been in terrific form of late and a third win in four starts looks like a distinct possibility for the son of Hard Spun. Who's The King and Yo Daddy can follow him home.

A taking winner over further here in Grade 2 company last time out, BABY YODA can strike at the top level now for a 10th career success. Skelly and Subrogate are high on the shortlist as well.

(10) Tiztastic	2	Tyler Gaffalione	Steven Asmussen	Half-brother to Interpolate, won twice at 6f and 7f. Might need the outing.

(12) So Ready	3	John Velazquez	Todd Pletcher	Half-sister to Fabuleuse, won at 5f. Reserve.
