Saratoga Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming
BRAMITO (2) continued a hot streak of form, winning over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt) last start to make it three straight. Same winning combination as last time and can measure up again. FULL SCREEN (1) returns from a spell of five months. Closed off last prep in great form including a dominant win over 1811m in stakes class at Aqueduct (Dirt) at his most recent appearance. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Will play a major role. GOULD'S GOLD (9) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.3 lengths from the winner in second over 1811m at Churchill Downs after being in the firing line on the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. BENDOOG (7) built on a nice second when fresh from a spell two starts back at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) with success as public elect over 1710m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) seven weeks ago, getting home by a nose. Nicely placed to go back-to-back.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Not raced for 41 days. First-up won by 2.75 len at Aqueduct March 21 over 1609m defeating Ignite The Light carrying 56kg at $2.90. Second run from a spell won by 1.3 len at Aqueduct April 25 over 1609m defeating Dreamlike carrying 56kg at $3.29. Fitter and should relish the step up to 1811m.
