Saratoga Race 5

Mdn Special Weight

Prize Money: $164,051

AERIAL AFFAIR (6) has filled a minor placing at both runs to date, the latest when beaten 6 lengths into second over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Will prove tough to beat. RUM TWIST (5) was 13 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1308m at this track (Dirt) last time following a minor placing on debut the run before. Will drift back but wind up late. Worth another chance. NAUGHTY NANCY (10) is on debut. By Essential Quality and comes from the Lindsay Schultz stable. Expect a bold run. HELP A GIRL OUT (4) faced the starter for the first time and finished sixth last start at this track (Dirt) over 1207m, beaten 7 lengths. Top-three chance with that run under her belt.

Having third race start. When well in the market at debut, 3rd of 7 at this track on July 11 over 1106m, 7 len behind Angel Of Kirk carrying 56kg at $3.54. Last start made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 8 at this track on August 8 over 1308m, 6 len behind Summer Starlet with 56kg at $10.77. Gets her chance. Take seriously.
