Saratoga Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Claiming
ASKED AND ANSWERED (5) is yet to break through after five starts but not far off a win. Placed two back then missed the frame but was thereabouts last time over 1811m at Saratoga (Dirt). Best figures stack up and looks well placed to get off the mark. STREAM IT (10) is back at the races for the first time since April 10. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1609m at Aqueduct. Should be hard to stop. FRANKLIN DELANO (9) is ticking along okay with two runs this time in. Improved last time out when fourth, beaten 3.5 lengths, at Aqueduct Turf (Turf) over 1609m. Blinkers go on; among the leading chances. ARABIAN POWER (1) put the writing on the wall last time when a close second at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf) over 1710m. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the lead. One of the better hopes. Something for the Multiples: ALGHERO (2)

Second run from a spell rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 12 at Churchill Downs Turf on June 20 over 1710m, 0.8 len behind Go For Rocket carrying 56.5kg at $3.17. Can improve.
