Eskimo Kisses vs. the track

I believe today's main track at Saratoga has been speed favoring. But we've seen mostly one turn races on today's card, and I also believe that a track that plays in favor of speed in sprints doesn't necessarily have to play the same in two turn races, especially extended two turn races like the upcoming Alabama.

Eskimo Kisses was an Alabama/Weekend Warrior play for me because I feel she's best suited to handle the 10 furlong distance. Eskimo Kisses will have to come from off the pace, because that's what she does. But even though that's in conflict with how Saratoga's main track has played in sprints today, I don't think that has to be the case in this extended route.

I'm comfortable with Eskimo Kisses here.
