Saratoga Race 10 - Race 10 - Allowance
FIREBALLIN (2) resumed over 1207m last time out and turned in a solid effort to finish second at Aqueduct (Dirt) when he was up on the pace all the way. The extra journey should play into his hands. Winning chance. LONG POUR (12) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 10 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when ninth over 1106m at Churchill Downs Turf, beaten 5 lengths. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. SUNDAY BOY (9) finished third last time over 1207m at Aqueduct Turf (Turf), beaten 1.5 lengths. Steps up a level but he is good enough to take this out. MO FOR THE KING (8) has a change of rider after he was well held last time when sixth over 1207m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Rates well and worth including among the main hopes.

Second-up. First-up after three months made ground from midfield; 2nd of 7 at Aqueduct on May 15 over 1207m, 0.8 len behind Projectability with 57kg at $4.49. Previously second-up 3rd of 9 at Aqueduct on February 28 over 1308m, 0.6 len behind Sanzio with 55kg at $4.45. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.

Recent form sound. Most recently favourite; won by 2.75 len at Aqueduct May 15 over 1207m defeating Life Is Gravy with 56kg at $2.23. The run before that 2nd in a small field at Aqueduct on April 25 over 1609m, 4 len behind Pretty Boy Miah carrying 56kg at $10.84. Impressive win last start and is in the mix again.

Racing well recently. Comes here off a 43-day let-up. At the latest run 3rd in a small field at Aqueduct on April 25 over 1609m, 6 len behind Pretty Boy Miah carrying 56kg at $2.59. Before that 2nd in a small field at Aqueduct on March 27 over 1609m, nose behind Gulfy carrying 56kg at $4.31. Should be right in the finish.

Second run back. Comes off a 50-day let-up. First-up after four months 3rd of 7 at Aqueduct on April 18 over 1408m, 7 len behind Kenny Be with 57kg at $4.35. Previously second-up 2nd in a small field at Aqueduct on January 5 2025 over 1609m, 1.3 len behind Baron Of Sealand with 55.5kg at $6.40. Fitter but others appeal more.

Comes here off a 51-day let-up. Last start 6th of 8 at Aqueduct on April 17 over 1207m, 5.5 len behind Timaeus carrying 57kg at $2.54. The start before that came from midfield and won by 9 len at Aqueduct March 12 over 1207m defeating Apollo Code with 56kg at $2.02. Capable of a better run.

Comes off a 37 day let-up. Last start second last of 7 at Aqueduct on May 1 over 1609m, 20 len behind Playa Del Mar with 57kg at $44.80. The run before that won by 0.8 len at Aqueduct April 2 over 1408m defeating New York Scrappy with 57kg at $3.23. Win would surprise.
