Not making any bones about rooting interest for Saratoga Snacks here, but Lunar Victory has been close to perfect since coming stateside. Gets outside draw for stalking trip and will take some beating. Snacks dismantled a quality open company ALW field last month stretching to mile and finishes races like the next 220 yards will be OK with him. Needs to make up about 3 lengths on Lunar Victory; gets about half that in weight so must take another forward step to win. Sailmate (6-1) and Fiddlers Afleet are the interesting prices to use along with the top pair..
