Saratoga Race 6

Allowance Optional Claiming

Stake: -

FIONN (1) Goes well when fresh. Tailed off when 6th last run at Gulfstream Park. Should bounce back and can save some energy from the gate. Displays very good closing speed. No shock to see a win. AMBER CASCADE (5) Nice run when 3rd last time at Ellis Park but competing at a higher class. Javier Castellano is a plus. Underrated. READY TO JAM (4) Improved when 4th last run at Aqueduct and stepping back up in distance. Jockey Manuel Franco and trainer Brad H Cox have a solid working relationship. Up in class. Has claims. SPINNING COLORS (6) Mediocre display when 5th last start at Aqueduct but strong performer at the distance. Has plenty of early speed. John R Velazquez rates highly aboard. Facing formidable competition. One of the hopes.

Could build on a strong first up record. At $4.00 not competitive when 6th last run at Gulfstream Park. Should bounce back and gets the perfect draw. Back in trip. Good tough competitor that can be supported.

Jumped at $6.00 and was making up some late ground when 4th last run at Aqueduct and coming back up in distance. Facing a stronger group of contenders. Great chance.

Disappointing display when 5th last start at Aqueduct but will be well suited at the distance. John R Velazquez is a bonus and back to a longer distance. Nice value bet.
