Saratoga Race 2 - Race 2 - Starter Optional Claiming

TACTICAL TRACKSTAR (8) finished win when resuming last start at this track over 1207m. Has since changed yards and significantly he won second-up when last in work. Rates highly and expected to go well. BILLIONAIRES ROW (3) was in the firing line on the bend and ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 1106m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. ALEXIS ZORBA (6) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 18 starts. Was again denied last start when he found one better over 1106m at this track. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. GLOBAL PROSPERITY (5) is a last-start winner six weeks ago, scoring by 1.75 lengths over 1207m at Aqueduct. Well placed and likely to feature.
