Saratoga Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Claiming
MAKES SENSE (6) turned in a decent effort last start when he did his best work late to finish second over 1811m at Aqueduct. Has the class to build on that encouraging effort last start. LAST MAN STANDING (5) hit the line nicely last time to grab third, beaten 15 lengths, over today's journey at Aqueduct (Dirt). Will be tough to hold out again. FREEDOM MAKER (1) is fitter for two runs back from a spell, progressing nicely last time to finish fifth, beaten 4.5 lengths, at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 1710m. Among the winning hopes. CINISTER CIX (4) was in the firing line on the corner and finished third last start over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Dirt), beaten 2.75 lengths. Will strip fitter this time. In the right race and is one of the better hopes.
