Saratoga Race 1 - Race 1 - Allowance Optional Claiming
MASHALLAH (4) was well fancied last start over 1609m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) when fifth, beaten 12 lengths. Certainly deserves another chance. FEMINISM (1) launched her career with a win two runs ago. Not as effective last time out when fourth over 1207m at Churchill Downs, beaten 12 lengths. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. LOVELY CHRISTINA (3) is back from a spell of nine months. Closed last prep with a fifth, beaten 7 lengths, over 1609m at Aqueduct. Right in the contest. IRRESISTIBLE (2) returns from a spell of nine weeks and is having her first run for a new yard. Was a winner when fresh last campaign at Aqueduct (Dirt) over 1609m.
