Saratoga Race 10 - Race 10 - Starter Optional Claiming
LESLIE'S STAR (7) is racing well, scoring by 0.8 lengths two back at Aqueduct (Turf) then finishing a respectable fourth last time over 1710m at this track (Turf) when not too far away. Leading contender. COMPETITIVE THREAT (5) has returned in good order this campaign. Won her maiden first-up over 1710m at Aqueduct (Turf) then finished third over 1710m at this track (Turf) last time. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Among the leading chances. LIFE ADVICE (4) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1710m at this track, beaten only half a length after being in the firing line on the turn. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. LOVEUMISSUMEANIT (6) ran a better race last start, finishing 1.5 lengths away in fourth over 1911m at this track. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
