TimeformUS Saratoga Horses in Focus for Friday, July 20, 2018
Race 3:
Comeoncomeoncat (#3)
The Pace Projector is predicting a situation favoring horses on or near the lead, and he is expected to be the front-runner.
Ran deceptively well at Parx last time after setting a blistering early pace.
Has significantly improved in recent starts and is one of the few runners in this field who still has some upside.
6-1 on ML
Race 5:
Princess Trina (#7)
Has impressed in some of her recent morning drills.
Is bred to be fast since her dam is a half-sister to graded stakes-winning sprinters Apriority and Bahamian Squall.
DRF Formulator Fact: Over the past five years, Ralph Nicks is 28 for 110 (25 percent, $2.54 ROI) with 2-year-old first-time starters in dirt sprints.

Race 10:
Cape Angel (#6)
This race is expected to feature a fast early pace, which should aid this closer’s chances.
Ran better than it may appear in some of his early turf races and dominated an overmatched field in his 2017 finale.
DRF Formulator Fact: Over the past five years, Joe Sharp is 10 for 32 (31 percent, $3.82 ROI) off layoffs of 180 days or more on turf.
