Saratoga Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance Optional Claiming

NEW YORK SCRAPPY (13) has scored at his last three starts, most recently by 0.3 lengths over 1308m at Saratoga (Dirt). That continued the solid form this campaign, with six wins and two minor placings from 13 outings. Sure to go well again. TWISTED FILIGREE (5) was sent out at long odds when resuming last time but ran above expectations to finish fourth, beaten only 0.7 lengths, over 1106m at this track (Turf). Form over this course and distance is solid with a win and three minor placings from six starts. Among the leading chances. BOSTON'S PHINEST (1) is putting together some solid results. Finished second at this track (Turf) two starts back then got the job done by 1.3 lengths as public elect last time out over 1207m at Aqueduct Turf (Turf). Going up a level this time but she is good enough to play a major role. VACATION DANCE (6) turned in an eye-catching run over this journey last time, settling out the back before winding up late to finish 2.5 lengths away in sixth at this track (Turf). Solid top-three prospects.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run won by 1.3 len at Aqueduct Turf June 28 over 1207m defeating Dancingwithdestiny carrying 57kg at $3.20. The run before that sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 11 at this track on June 3 over 1106m, 0.5 len behind Brokealltherules carrying 57kg at $7.79. The inside draw is a real bonus.
