Saratoga Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
GREAT RICHIE M (5) is having his first run since winning by 7 lengths three-and-a-half weeks ago over 1408m at this track. Has transferred to the Rob Atras stable over the break. Rates highly and expected to go well. FORGIVING SPIRIT (4) was returning from a break last time out and proved too classy, scoring by 1.75 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Fitter for that last hitout and is expected to feature in the finish. AMUNDSON (1) was in contention on the bend and finished second last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten half a length. This is a suitable assignment and can find winning form. SHOW TIME (7) is a six-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Norm W Casse stable. Scored at his latest appearance at Churchill Downs (Dirt) three-and-a-half months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but has filled a minor placing four times from five runs when resuming. One of the main chances.
