Saratoga Race 6 - Race 6 - Claiming

METATRON'S MUSE (4) is having his first run since winning by a nose three weeks ago over 1609m at Aqueduct. Has transferred to the Orlando Noda stable over the break. Plenty to like about his prospects. SHIPSATIONAL (5) was ridden quietly then picked up fairly well in the straight and finished 7 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1609m at Aqueduct a week ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Silvestre Gonzalez has registered two minor placings when on board. Well placed and should be in the finish. FIRST TRUMPET (8) last appeared three weeks ago over 1609m at Aqueduct when he finished sixth. This is his first run for the Michelle Giangiulio stable. One of the genuine hopes in the race. POLAR BEAR PLUNGE (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1710m at Aqueduct Turf, beaten 4 lengths into fifth. Well placed to turn things around.

Comes off a 39 day let-up. Last start scored a big 4 len win at Finger Lakes May 25 over 1609m defeating Freedsdale carrying 55.5kg at $2.09. Before that ran second last in a small field at Aqueduct on April 9 over 1609m, 11 len behind Secured Landing with 55kg at $7.34. Doesn't look good enough to threaten the top few.

Recent form sound. Most recently got back early 4th in a small field at Aqueduct on June 26 over 1609m, 7 len behind Quiet Wisdom with 55kg at $3.58. The start before that gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 7 at Aqueduct on May 22 over 1811m, 0.3 len behind Apalta with 57kg at $9.29. Expected to finish much closer.

At the latest run 4th in a small field at Aqueduct on June 13 over 1609m, 9 len behind Metatron's Muse carrying 56kg at $31.35. The race before that 8th of 10 at Aqueduct on May 16 over 1609m, 12 len behind Brew Pub carrying 56kg at $24.89. Will jump at pretty long odds and deservedly so.
