Formscan By Tom Weekes - SARATOGA has an excellent pedigree and shaped as though he would improve considerably for his recent reappearance run. A half-brother to four stakes performers including Irish Derby and English St Leger winner Capri and separately a Cheltenham-winner Brazil, the selection finished third in a hot Killarney maiden on debut and while well held by a smart type last month, should improve and holds big-race entries. Subsonic, out of a Group 1-winner, was well held in July’s Irish Oaks and while a capable 89-rated filly, might struggle to beat the selection. Game Point is frustrating while Edge Of Seventeen and Sunlight Dance have place claims. Moon Reign showed ability in an ordinary maiden at Galway.
