DEVIL IN DISGUISE (8) returns from a lay-off of nine weeks and did score when resuming when last in work at Saratoga (Turf) over 5½f. Lines up for the first time for the Rudy R Rodriguez stable. Shapes well and a bold showing is expected. RANGER BATTALION (10) is racing well. Scored at Saratoga (Dirt) in a then finished second, beaten half a length, over 7f at Saratoga (Dirt) at the latest appearance four weeks ago. Deserves another chance. SPOKEN BLUNTLY (1) was in the firing line on the turn and finished third last time over 5½f at Saratoga (Turf) when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 4 lengths. Yet to miss the placings from five starts at this circuit. Has the ability to get the prize. TRUST ISSUES (12) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished second, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 6½f at Saratoga (Dirt). Nicely placed to play a major role.
