Saratoga Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance Optional Claiming
WHAT'S UP BRO (5) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by half a length over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has a liking for this trip and another win looks on the cards. SHERIFF BIANCO (6) finished out of the money two starts back then he got a long way back and was beaten 22 lengths when fifth over 1609m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. TRUST FUND (3) returns from the paddock after closing last prep with two consecutive wins, the most recent over 1308m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Leading contender. RUNAWAY JOKE (1) was far too good first up last start when he scored by 7 lengths over 1207m at Finger Lakes (Dirt). Fitter for that last hitout and is among the better chances.

Previously second-up 4th of 8 at Aqueduct on March 16 over 1308m, 4.5 len behind Ignite The Light with 55kg at $4.90. Clearly the one to beat again.
