Saratoga Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming

DESPO'S DREAM (5) improved sharply on her fifth two starts back at this track (Dirt) with a win over 1408m at this track (Dirt) two weeks ago, getting home by 0.3 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. TALKIN IN CURSIVE (2) did well to score at this track two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when in the firing line on the bend before finishing fourth over 1408m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. Tackling a deeper field this time but she is up to the task. READY FOR TROUBLE (3) is coming off a last-start fourth, beaten 4 lengths, over 1207m at Churchill Downs. Hard to knock. GOLDEN DEGREE (1) finished fourth last time out over 1408m at Aqueduct, beaten 4 lengths. Should run very well.
