Saratoga Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance
EPONINE (2) is having her first run since August 23. Goes very well when fresh with two wins from two starts, the latest over 1600m at Pau All Weather at the start of last prep. Expected to go very well. IMPERATRICE (10) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1609m in Listed grade at Aqueduct Turf (Turf). Has the ability to build on that strong effort last start. BRUNCH WITH AMY (13) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish 3.5 lengths back in third over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Finds a tougher race but a big run is on the cards. ETAWA (1) is ticking along okay with two runs this time in. Improved last time out when second, beaten 1.75 lengths, at Keeneland Turf (Turf) over 2414m. Looms as a genuine contender.
