Super Screener: Biggest price could come in Bowling Green

Do not let the lack of stakes races this weekend deter you from value shopping. It certainly did not stop Mike Shutty, who mined a price play in the Grade 2 Bowling Green on Saturday at Saratoga.

With just 16 weeks until the Breeders' Cup and both Del Mar opening next week, the stakes action is sure to heat up beyond what is available this week, which is why the Super Screener Breeders' Cup bundle is the play for all your stakes-handicapping needs. This Super Screener subscription includes not only the next 17 editions of Super Screener through Breeders' Cup but also daily power picks and horses to single reports.

As for Saturday, there are only two graded stakes, and they are both on turf at Saratoga. Based on its selections, Super Screener figures the Bowling Green as a better opportunity than the Diana (G1).

No. 7 Far Bridge is the understandable morning-line favorite at 6-5, but No. 2 El Rezeem is clearly the play, given his Super Screener rankings as both the most reliable board hitter and top value at 8-1 morning line.

"Great to see (trainer Todd) Pletcher give El Rezeem some time off after a big effort, and he should be ready to move forward again on an ideal surface," Shutty said about El Rezeem's 2-for-2 record on the inner course at Saratoga. "He'll be reserved 3-5 lengths off the pace, reserving his stamina early before continuing on with a sustained bid."
