Saratoga Race 7 - Race 7 - Claiming
MIRAGE (9) doesn't win very often but ran a nice race last time out over 1609m at Churchill Downs (Dirt), finishing fourth and beaten 2.5 lengths when he worked home well. Faces an easier assignment so he is sure to prove hard to beat. GEOSTOBLAME (7) hit the frame two starts ago at Aqueduct Turf but ran below par last time when ninth and beaten 4 lengths over 1710m at Saratoga Inner Turf (Turf). Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. ANTIETAM (1) finished seventh over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on April 3. Worth plenty of thought. MAGNUM'S MACROBRST (4) improved sharply last time out to score by 3.5 lengths over 1811m at Aqueduct (Dirt) five weeks ago. Well placed to feature in the finish again.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run ran second last in a small field at Aqueduct on June 27 over 1609m, 11 len behind Calling Card with 57kg at $10.08. The race before that 2nd of 8 at Aqueduct on May 23 over 1609m, 2 len behind Thorsness with 57kg at $5.96. Better than that recent plain performance suggests.

Comes off a 34 day let-up. Last start 2nd in a small field at Aqueduct on June 13 over 1811m, 3.5 len behind Magnum's Macrobrst carrying 57kg at $7.26. Before that 10th of 12 at Saratoga Turf on June 3 over 1710m, 13 len behind Blame It On K J carrying 57kg at $116.15. Rather invest elsewhere.

Comes here off a 34-day let-up. Last start ran second last in a small field at Churchill Downs on June 13 over 1609m, 2.5 len behind Midway Munny carrying 56kg at $3.69. The start before that 5th of 7 at Churchill Downs on May 9 over 1710m, 8 len behind Consolidated with 56kg at $2.04. Can improve on that reasonable effort last time out.
