Saratoga Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
CAROLINA SMOKESHOW (4) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing second last time over 1207m at Ellis Park (Dirt). Will relish the drop in class so she is likely to play a big role. SPIRIT OF ESTHER (7) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4 lengths when fifth in a 1710m contest at Aqueduct seven weeks ago after being in contention on the bend. This doesn't look as hard so she is likely to play a big role. SAILAWAY (3) drifted back over 1710m here last time before winding up late to finish fifth, beaten 4.5 lengths. One of the main contenders. ROCK HARBOR (8) did very well to fill a minor placing when resuming at Aqueduct but raced below expectations last time over 1408m at this track (Dirt), finishing ninth and beaten 20 lengths. Finds a nice race and can atone.
