(# 6) SECRET SHOCKS - Halves in value for trainer Stanley Hough after showing good speed against better in most recent race on June 7. Faces a very weak group and a repeat of that :45.2 speed may be enough to shake clear and wire this bunch.

(# 5) Goetzie - Five-year-old first-time starter has been working well over the Saratoga training track since mid-May. Trainer put over a $130 debut bomb earlier in the meet. This looks to be about 5 to 1.

(# 1) Wicked Retort - He has become competitive as he's descended down the claiming ladder in price. Ran second to a 1-5 runaway winner in last and he should be just off the top pick if race runs as it looks. Good shot turning for home.
