Saratoga Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance Optional Claiming
KENNY BE (4) finished second when resuming two runs back at Aqueduct (Dirt) then progressed nicely last time out to score by 5.5 lengths as favourite over 1408m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Ricardo Santana Jr scored on him last time and retains the ride. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he deserves plenty of thought. PROJECTABILITY (6) is a promising type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Has won three on end now, the latest scoring over 1207m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Rates well and looks a definite winning hope. FACTUALLY CORRECT (5) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 2.5 lengths at Aqueduct (Dirt) over 1207m. Good record at this journey with four wins and nine minor placings from 17 starts and is one of the contenders. HIT THE POST (3) was prominent at the turn and finished third last time over 1408m at Aqueduct (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 4.5 lengths. Will trim down second-up. Likely improver with top-three claims again.
