Race Two - #3 Commuted: This race has been scratched down to only four wagering interests; however, this gelding now shapes up to be the controlling speed in a spot where we have knocks on the other three entrants. The #1 horse is coming out of a slow race with no real excuse, the #2 figures to take a bulk of the public money based on previous form lines, but he’s a shell of the horse that he used to be and his recent workouts are uninspiring and finally the #6 is exposed at the level. This process of elimination leads us to the likely pace-setter who is dropping in class for an ownership group that aggressively targets this meet and likes to win at Saratoga. Finally, this gelding broke a step slow last time out from the rail and was shut out of position which totally compromised his chances given that he’s a confirmed front runner. Look for him to make the lead here today breaking from the chute under an aggressive and red-hot jock and never look back.
The Play: 2 units to Win.
