Saratoga Race 4 - Race 4 - Allowance
LIGHTNING STRIKE (1) returned from a spell a month ago when she was in the firing line on the bend before being beaten 6 lengths into fifth over 1106m at Saratoga Turf. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BASEBALL LADY (6) is an honest type who impressed last time, scoring by 2.75 lengths over 1408m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Commendable record at this trip with a win and two minor placings and looks a top chance. GRACE AND GRIT (8) continues to race well with a win two back at Aqueduct (Dirt) before finishing 1.75 lengths away in second last time over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Should be poised just off the lead. Capable of testing this field. GRACEFUL ROSE (2) could only manage fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1408m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Nicely placed to maintain the form.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run came from midfield and won by 2.75 len at Aqueduct June 20 over 1408m defeating A P Slingshot with 55kg at $4.19. The start before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at Aqueduct on May 25 over 1207m, 0.5 len behind Twirling Lulu with 55kg at $2.75. Can get the job done again.
