Out of Speightstown\u2019s first crop, Saintstown has never been out of the money though all efforts to this point have been sprints. \u00a0<\/SPAN>His is well accomplished at the Stakes level having a stakes win plus four stakes-placed results so far. \u00a0<\/SPAN>Distance will be a question though his off the pace running style will likely help in a race full of early speed.<\/FONT><\/P>

This one turned in a very sharp effort last time out over 7.5 f on a sloppy track. \u00a0<\/SPAN>If this son of Sky Mesa can turn in another 93 Beyer at this distance over this track, he will be hard to beat. \u00a0<\/SPAN>If the sloppy going was the reason for the jump in form, the hard going expected for Saturday won\u2019t help this colt. \u00a0<\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/P>

This Arazi colt is the first foal of the talented racemare Gold Banshii. \u00a0<\/SPAN>She was a Grade II winner and a five time stakes winner herself, so you know there are high hopes for this colt. \u00a0<\/SPAN>Her son does come into this race with the best Juvenile ranking. \u00a0<\/SPAN>He was a stakes winner at this distance back in September though his form seems to have dropped off somewhat since then. \u00a0<\/SPAN>With ten starts in his Juvenile season (the most in this group) he may be in need of a rest. \u00a0<\/SPAN>Perennial leading jockey, Don Givins should help matters.<\/FONT><\/P>

A son of Dehere, Deblush has a lot going for him coming into this race: most wins (4), one-for-one at this distance, and the best Beyer at a mile (91). \u00a0<\/SPAN>He is most successful when able to get a clear lead early and is certain to be fending off some closers in the later stages.<\/FONT><\/P>

Not much to say about this son of Mining other than he has shown a remarkable versatility in running styles.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In his last three starts; he has been free and clear on the lead, sitting cozy just off of the pace, and run at the back of the pack.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Interestingly, all three efforts have been quite credible.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Those races have been in lesser company so an improvement would be required Saturday and the rated running style is likely to show the most promise in this one.<\/FONT><\/P>
