Saratoga Race 3 - Race 3 - Starter Allowance
HOULTON (2) finished second when resuming from a spell last start over 1609m at Aqueduct. Looks to have an edge on most of these. HOUSE UNITED (6) started at $9.72 last time and ran below expectations, finishing tenth and beaten 6 lengths at Churchill Downs (Turf) over 1609m. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. TIZMARKUS (7) had been in top form, scoring two consecutive wins before being sent out favourite last time and finishing third over 1710m at Churchill Downs. Certainly worth another chance. DAIQUIRI SOMMELIER (3) brings the right form to the table after taking out a 1710m contest at Churchill Downs last time out by 5 lengths. Strong top-three chance.
