Group 2 placegetter PANDAGATE (8) is a talented type yet to taste defeat after two runs this campaign, the latest over 1m1f in stakes class at Saratoga (Dirt). Won at this distance last time and he is a top chance again. DAKOTA GOLD (3) drifted well back last start before storming home to score by 0.1 lengths over 1m1/2f in Listed grade at Saratoga (Turf). Winning rider Dylan Davis stays aboard. Leading contender. Group 2 winner CITY MAN (6) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 1.1 lengths away in third over 1m1/2f in stakes class at Saratoga (Turf). Will enjoy a drop in class so he is sure to be right there at the finish. Group 2 placegetter JERRY THE NIPPER (7) was beaten 2.75 lengths into fourth in a 1m1/2f contest at Saratoga a month ago. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
