Peck: How I'd play Saratoga for Friday, July 24

Opportunities abound on the Opening Day card at Saratoga but I wanted to zero in on a mid-day pick three.

RACE 5: JEWELISA comes off a pair of good efforts and the Beyers she posted in those two races set her up nicely for this. She's the lone "A", with RACE AND SHINE (close-up fourth in her latest) and QUEENOFZEENILE (third in that same race) the back-ups, "B" plays on this ticket.

A's: 7

B's: 10, 11

C's: NONE

RACE 6: ANNA HOUSE has some scintillating works showing for her debut, for trainer Todd Pletcher, and history tells us that this type of tab usually means that the Hall of Fame conditioner has 'em ready. WELCOMING, however, also sports a couple of interesting breezes, and is the only other "A". READY FOR CHIANTI merits a look based on her latest works. I will also include TESSIO, JUST WICKED, and LADY DEVIL on the thinnest of tickets.

A's: 5, 6

B's: 3

C's: 1, 2, 9

RACE 7: DYNAZAR was sharp in defeat at a big price in her debut, then she returned with a solid effort to win her maiden in her most recent. THE TEA CUPS has won two of her last three, including her last start. ASPERITES makes her first start off the Mike Maker claim.

A's: 1, 10

B's: 8

C's: NONE
