Saratoga Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance Optional Claiming
SCOTTISH LASSIE (3) is a progressive galloper who is first-up since finishing fourth over 1710m in the G1 Cotillion Stakes at Parx (Dirt) nine months ago which was the only run of that prep. Should be poised just off the lead. Best figures should see her run well. ROMAN GRACE (2) is having her first run since winning by 1.3 lengths four weeks ago over 1207m at Aqueduct. Has transferred to the Linda Rice stable over the break. Has found a suitable race and can take this out. FILLY FREEDOM (5) reunites with Manuel Franco after scoring with ease over 1408m at Aqueduct (Dirt) last time. One of the main contenders again. LIMES DON'T LIE (1) was in contention on the turn and finished third last time over 1408m at Aqueduct (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 4 lengths. Taking on a better line-up this time but she has the ability to mix it with them.
