Saratoga Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance
PAULA'S A STAR (3) finds it hard to win with just one success from 10 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1106m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. In the right race and there is no reason she cannot get the major prize. ONE LAST KNOCK (6) has returned in good shape this preparation. Opened with a second at Aqueduct Inner Turf (Turf) two starts back then scored by one length as favourite last time out over 1207m at Aqueduct Turf (Turf). Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she is up to the challenge. MINUTE BY MINUTE (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at Aqueduct, beaten 9 lengths. This looks a sterner test than last time but with added fitness she is one of the key runners. OSCAR'S ENCORE (7) resumes after a break of nine months. Did win at her only other first-up run when on debut, scoring over 1106m at this track. Sound prospects.

Resuming after a nine months break. Not seen since she finished last of 9 at Woodbine Inner in the LR October 5 over 1710m, 88 len behind Dixie Law with 54kg at $5.30. At her first start won by 2 len this track August 6 over 1106m defeating Devilish Grin carrying 54kg at $4.80. Will take a lot from this run but stays under notice.
