Field is separated by 2-3 lengths, so I’ll reach for Dorochenko and aggressive Vega for a literal New Year Surprise (20-1). Don’t be put off by most recent try when wide draw forced jock’s hand to move early. Street Sense colt out of Galileo mare has every chance with a repeat of maidenbreaker 2 back..

Will presence of Sir Alfred James soften Just Might up for Manny Wah’s late pressure? Worth noting Rosario gets back on Cowan and they were very good together in Middle East going longer last year. Cowan moved forward when turf sprinting at 2 and short on grass may be what he’s meant to do..

Catch a Bid/Summer in Saratoga expected to SCR. Abscond is ‘supposed’ to win this with top rival coming out. Brazilian import Janelle Monae a wild card. I’m interested in Hartman’s Assertive Style SCR’D and middle paths may prove to be preferable to boggy inside paths with rails taken down..
