SARATOGA Race #10 (THE SWORD DANCER INVITATIONAL (G1))

August 17, 2014

Premium Pick

Top pick: #7 (TWILIGHT ECLIPSE) (3-1) - He's recovered his form after a failed trip to the Mid-East this past March where he showed nothing in the $5,000,000 "Dubai Sheema Classic"(Group 1). He just missed last out at Monmouth at this distance in the G1 "United Nations Stakes." Gelding finished second in this stakes last August and looks set for a big effort.

2nd pick: #3 (Emira's Prince) (6-1) - Speed/stalker received a poor ride last out after just missing in his previous start. The distance and level are fine, and this 5yo has more natural early speed than most. Can factor at a square price.

3rd pick: #6 (War Dancer) (8-1) - He has solid early speed and has gone 11-4-3-2 so far on the grass. In career best form, he enters off a solid effort at this trip on July 12 at Arlington. Consistent sort can factor at a square price.

4th pick: #5 (Imagining) (7-2) - Veteran comes off a sub-par effort in early June at Belmont. Stalker has won here in the past, is working fast, and the level and trip are fine with him. In the mix.
