Saratoga Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance
GYPSY ART (8) produced a reasonable effort when second last start over 1006m at Churchill Downs Turf, beaten 1.5 lengths. That followed a win at Churchill Downs Turf the start prior. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. PAIR OF SOCKS (12) is a talented four-year-old being tested on a turf track for the first time today on his return from a break. Resumed last campaign with a sixth at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) over 1207m. Has a good association with Jose Lezcano with a run of four top-three results. Should be hard to stop. CYCLONITE (1) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when sixth, beaten 56 lengths, over 1207m at Aqueduct Turf (Turf). Meets some better types this time but he has the talent to test this line-up. MISSION IMPROBABLE (5) resumed over 1207m at Aqueduct Turf (Turf) last start and was too good for his rivals, scoring by 0.3 lengths. Open to plenty of improvement and must be included.

Most recently ran second last of 7 at Aqueduct Turf on June 19 over 1207m, 56 len behind Bite And Strike carrying 57kg at $2.82. The start before that 3rd of 8 at Aqueduct Turf on May 23 over 1207m, 5 len behind Shape Note carrying 57kg at $3.06. Worth another chance.

Gelding returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last preparation fourth of 8 at Fairgrounds Turf January 29 over 1106m, 4 len behind Amoudi Bay carrying 54.5kg at $3. Previous preparation first-up to post a big 4.5 len win. Fairgrounds Turf March 19 2025 over 1106m defeating E Lion carrying 56.5kg at $2.70. Has solid claims.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 4th of 9 at Presque Isle Downs in LR on June 15 over 1207m, 3 len behind Squad Goals carrying 53.5kg at $3.20.

Comes off a 58 day let-up. Most recently ran second last in a small field at Aqueduct on May 14 over 1308m, 6 len behind Tiger Twenty Four carrying 57kg at $2.84. Before that 3rd in a small field at Aqueduct on April 23 over 1207m, 3 len behind Antonio Of Venice with 57kg at $5.10. Impossible to tip with any confidence.
