Saratoga Racing Picks on Friday August 28
Carl Nicholson previews the card at Saratoga on Friday:
SWEET MELANIA got the job done in great style last time out. She looks a filly on the up and it will take a decent performance from the other to do that. SELFLESSLY was way behind the latter mentioned one her comeback run, and while she is entitled to improve for that run she does have to find something extra to reverse that form. MICHELINE was well beaten last time out, but would have a chance of hitting the frame on her win the time before that. CAT'S PAJAMAS can be forgiven a poor effort last time out as she got no chance to show her form that day. She had returned to action in good form prior to that with two wins.
It is hard to get away from the chances of SWEET MELANIA, she looks a filly on the up and could take plenty of catching. MICHELINE looks the main danger.
OTHER RACES
RACE 2
PRINCESS FAWZIA has gone close the last twice and was just beaten off close home on her last appearance. That sort of form should see her off the mark for the season this time.
RACE 3
WARDENOFTHENORTH is likely to be at the head of the market given her unexposed profil , but he looks worth taking on with REJECTED AGAIN who has the look of a tough performer at this level, and Ortiz jr jumps off WARDENOFTHENORTH to ride REJECTED AGAIN and the hint should be noted
RACE 4
STAGE LEFT has been found a golden opportunity to get back to winning ways & stands head and shoulders above the rest on form.
