Saratoga Race 2

Mike Lee S. Stakes

Stake: $335,925

MO PLEX (6) Put the head down when winning last time at Aqueduct. Should race on the speed. Have to respect the recent stable form. Been in the placegetters each start this campaign. Winning claims. PRINCE VALIANT (3) Led and controlled the pace when winning by a margin of 3 1/2L last start at Aqueduct and showing consistent performance in races. Won last 3 in a row. Strong chance. TRAIN THE TRAINER (5) Set the pace to win by a margin of 5L last time at Aqueduct. Likely to be well placed early. Placed at every start this preparation. Worth a ticket. SOONTOBEKING (1) Was competitive when 2nd last time at Aqueduct and drawn well. In a purple patch of form since resuming from a break. One of the major players.
