Steve Matthews' Saratoga selections for Sunday, July 6
Best bet: CHEVY MAN (9)
Best value: GATTATIZ (10)
FIRST: Gun It tallied fast final fraction when winning last; more to come. One Nine Hundred could play out as the speed of the speed; dangerous. Aggelos the Great could impact if pace meltdown ensues.
SECOND: Toga Twist is training swiftly over the Oklahoma training track; charting a must in field of newcomers. Max Money is by a potent first-out sire. Valentine Crusader is working sharply at Keeneland; worth long look.
THIRD: In Time was compromised by soft splits last out; owns a win and a second in two starts on Spa sod. Holy Foley gets class relief and owns a win at 12-furlong trip. Miwa also drops and makes third start of form cycle.
FOURTH: O P Firecracker worked four times since even third in last; forward move predicted. Aint No Joke owns sprinter's speed and could play out as the controlling front-runner; dangerous. Peek was second as the favorite in last; be no surprise.
FIFTH: Fly'n Frisbee is fleet-footed and drops; rates close call. Brave Bear could be in the garden spot if top selection hits the wall. Mackville is competitive on best efforts; don't ignore.
SIXTH: Downtown Channel tallied lone win on Saratoga turf. Aviso could be the prime beneficiary if pace meltdown ensues. Life Advice is quick from gate and drops; big-time player.
SEVENTH: Mizoula was a fast-figured, front-end winner in last; pairs up at a price. Elegant also owns speed and fired half-mile bullet since last start; very playable. Will Not Be Swayed packs potent late kick on "A" efforts.
EIGHTH: Takeschargesmiling is rested and could play out as the main speed in bulky field. Rithm Nic is firing bullets for first start in nearly a year; price plunge is troubling, however. Thank You Jon owns speed and drops; very interesting.
NINTH: Chevy Man tallied rapid late-pace figure when second in last; keeps on giving. Hall Monitor was just a nose behind Chevy Man in most recent; very dangerous. Cognoscenti was freshened after breaking maiden by five lengths on May 11; right in the thick of this.
10TH: Gattatiz should move forward in second start since eight-month layoff. Fifi La Fume should pack amplified kick with cutback to sprint. Amelia could play out as the dominant speed. Miss Uproar returns to the maiden-claiming ranks; don't ignore.
