Saratoga TB

A race stacked with highly talented horses, many of whom do their best work late on. The British-trained pair Title Role and Pacific Avenue are easy to fancy and although the former came out best on their previous encounter at Meydan, the latter has improved since. Of the home contingent, West End Kid is definitely one for the shortlist, given his rate of improvement, while Touch Of Fire (second choice) could not have been more impressive in a Listed race at Churchill Downs. REMEMBER MAMBA earns the vote based on his excellent second in a Grade 1 at the same track, to Stark Contrast who may be the most talented young turf horse in the USA. Turf Star has lots to find but his trainer has won the last two renewals and is a skilled operator. [James Willoughby]
