Saratoga | Race 3 | 1:46 pm ET

#8 Lady Delilah (15-1 morning line odds) ran a couple of solid turf sprints here last summer, and notably made a big improvement from the first start to the second. She’s in that all-important second start in her current form cycle after an even return from 6 months away. Adds Lasix for the first time.

Win bet #8.

Saratoga | Race 5 | 2:51 pm ET

#2 Pay the Juice (4-1 morning line odds) ran very well here in 2 starts as a juvenile, rare for a Shug McGaughey trainee to come out popping like he did. Difficult post had him hung wide in his Aqueduct return but now benefits from the 2-hole and presence of Flavien Prat.

Win bet #2. Exacta box 2-4.

Saratoga | Race 9 | Mount Vernon Stakes | 5:12 pm ET

#10 Whatlovelookslike (7-2 morning line odds) has the best finishing kick in a race that should cook pretty hot in terms of early pace pressure. She’s also the class of the race exiting 3 straight graded stakes against far tougher than these NY-breds.

Win #10. Single in multi-race bets.
