Saratoga Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance Optional Claiming
WEIGH THE RISKS (1) is back from a spell of five months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Expected to feature. SULTRY LASS (3) improved sharply on her fifth two starts back at Churchill Downs (Dirt) with success over 1308m at Ellis Park (Dirt) two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by half a length after being in the firing line on the bend. Taking on a better line-up this time but she can win again. ZADORSKY (5) was an effortless winner last time over 1509m at Churchill Downs (Dirt), scoring by 6 lengths. Should be poised just off the lead. Will give backers a great sight. PATRICIA ANN (2) was in great form at the end of the last campaign with back-to-back wins, the latest over 1408m at Aqueduct six-and-a-half months ago. Has a formidable combination with Jose Antonio Gomez who has been aboard for her last two wins. Solid claims on best form.
