Saratoga Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance Optional Claiming
WOLFIE'S DYNAGHOST (4) went fast early and went on to score by 4.5 lengths last time out over 1811m in stakes class at Laurel (Turf). Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. AWESOME AARON (6) got home by 0.8 lengths on dirt at Pimlico two starts ago. Disappointed in another run on dirt last time at this track over 2012m when 31 lengths from the winner in sixth. Takes on much easier opposition this time. Top chance in this field. FILM STAR (8) is on the quick back up after a strong victory at this track (Dirt) only 6 days ago, leading throughout for a 4 length success. Jose Ortiz who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Has claims on his best figures. PREVENT (1) couldn't have been more impressive first up last start when he scored by 3 lengths over 1673m in stakes class at Gulfstream Park (Synthetic). Open to plenty of improvement and must be included.
