Returned
from a four-month layoff with a sharply-improved effort to be third, just a
neck out of second behind a next-out winner in second here at this distance at
Saratoga, and is ready to improve further in the second start off the layoff.
Owns a good record at Saratoga with a win and a 3-for-3 record in the money.
Trainer DePaz has one win at the meet, but has had a sneaky-strong season with
7 of his 9 starters finishing in the exacta (6 seconds).
Race 9
#2 Make Mischief
Plus play exacta box w/#3 Lilac Lace
#2 Make Mischief
is the horse to beat here in the Grade 2 Adirondack after finishing second last
time out in the Schuylerville on opening week. Earned this field’s top speed
figure, and has early speed but doesn’t need the early lead in order to win
based on the first-out win. The horse to beat.
Play in
exacta box with #3 Lilac Lace, who has the best upset chance in this field at
6-1 odds on the morning line. Unlike most winning young 2-year-olds who show
speed and go wire-to-wire, this horse closed from far off the pace in Keeneland
career debut last time in order to win at first asking. Can’t be overlooked.
