Saratoga Race 6 - Race 6 - Allowance Optional Claiming
CRYSTAL QUEST (5) comes here off a last-start second, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 1811m at Laurel. This looks an ideal assignment. FILM STAR (9) finished 13 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1811m at this track seven weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Best form puts him right in this. CATCH A WAVE (2) is a promising four-year-old gelding who returned from a break last start and finished 1.3 lengths away in second over 2414m at Aqueduct (Turf). Among the leading chances. VESTING (6) was far too good first up last start when he scored by 3.5 lengths over 2414m at Aqueduct (Turf). Open to plenty of improvement and must be included.
