(# 1) TENACIOUS STAR - Has been on the sidelines for two months for trainer Richard Dutrow. Last time that scenario occurred he broke his maiden by 3 1/2 lengths. Cost almost a half-million, so he was intended to be better. This is his first time tagged, and he faces a poor group.

(# 2) Dade County - Goes second off a ten-month layoff for trainer George Weaver. Good return for this tag and at this condition at Saratoga. Any move forward makes him tough.

(# 6) Sal the Pal - Could sneak away at good odds in here. Competitive efforts in many tries at this level. May factor well in here.

(# 8) Tater Tutt - Has some speed, is lightly raced, and comes in fresh off a five-month layoff. Only win was over this course and distance.
