Saratoga Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
DEFINING ROLE (6) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 6 lengths over 1408m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Winning rider Ricardo Santana Jr sticks and she can go on with it. MARGARITA MOLLY (4) finished 25 lengths adrift in seventh last time at this track (Dirt) in a disappointing performance. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role. TWIRLY (2) returned from a spell two-and-a-half weeks ago when she was beaten 9 lengths into sixth over 1408m at Aqueduct. Finds a suitable race and can get the job done. AMELIA'S ECHO (3) finished fourth last time out over 1609m at Aqueduct, beaten 15 lengths. Should be involved in the finish.
