Saratoga Race 3 - Race 3 - Starter Optional Claiming
TIZMARKUS (5) finished second over 1811m at Aqueduct (Dirt) last time out following a determined win two back. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Expecting a bold showing. LUCKY DUDE (6) built on a nice third two starts back at Delaware Park (Dirt) with a win over 1408m at Parx (Dirt) three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 2.5 lengths. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within his grasp. PRINCIP (9) was unwanted in betting last time but scored by 2 lengths over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Capable of another bold performance. SIN NOMBRE (3) was returning from a break last time out and proved too classy, scoring by one length over 1308m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Will be better for that latest run and cannot be ruled out.

Second run back. First-up after two months ran on from midfield and won by 1.0 len at Aqueduct June 27 over 1308m defeating He's Got This with 56kg at $19.48. Previously second-up ran on from midfield and won by 1.0 len at Aqueduct July 6 2024 over 1408m defeating Refuah carrying 56kg at $34. Fitter and worth including.
