Saratoga Race 6

Allowance Optional Claiming

Stake: -

ALYESKA (7) Resuming after a spell of 42 weeks. Dashed home to win last start at Aqueduct and facing less formidable opponents. Honest performer putting a tidy record together. Hard to overlook. SHE'S A GAMER (1) Won by a big margin of 7L last time at Monmouth Park and gets a favourable draw. Should muster plenty of early speed. Up against stronger competition. Underrated. LIMES DON'T LIE (3) Solid effort to run into 2nd beaten by nearly 9L last time at the track but racing in stronger company. A win wouldn't surprise. STRONG STATE (4) Kept chasing when 4th last run at Churchill Downs but up in class. More confidence with jockey Flavien Prat guiding the horse. Will be motoring home late. Contender in this event.

First run back from a break. Jumped at $28.00 and gave away some ground when 7th last start at Aqueduct but drawn nicely. Have to respect the recent stable form. Much prefer the look of others in this race.

Good run when placing 2nd last time at this track but up against a higher level of opposition. Jockey Dylan Davis riding for trainer Chad C Brown command respect. Capable of winning this.

Jumped at $7.00 and overtook some late when 4th last run at Churchill Downs but matched against a stronger field. Should get going late. Jockey Flavien Prat is an asset. Very capable of taking this out.

Started at $23.00 and struggled when 6th last start at Churchill Downs and facing a stronger group of contenders. Jockey Irad Ortiz Jr is in form. Too much luck needed to come into contention.

Although being out sprinted still grabbed 3rd beaten by 4 1/4L last start at Aqueduct but taking on stronger rivals. Good to see Manuel Franco is jumping on. Should be included in your exotics.
