Saratoga Race 1 - Race 1 - Allowance Optional Claiming
I'M WIDE AWAKE (4) registered a strong win at this track two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when in the firing line on the bend before finishing third over 1408m at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TRUST FUND (5) made it two wins in succession last time out when he scored by 1.3 lengths over 1308m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Winning rider K Carmouche retains the mount. Meeting a tougher field but on current form he is good enough to take this out. DEAR CHAIRMAN (3) was quickly into stride and kicked strongly to score over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt) last time. More weight to carry this time but shapes as one to consider. YO BANANA BOY (2) was prominent at the corner and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1408m at this track (Dirt), beaten 1.3 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects.
