Saratoga Race 11 - Race 11 - Allowance Optional Claiming
IRON MAX (7) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1609m at Aqueduct Turf (Turf). Tackling a deeper field this time but he is worth serious consideration. SMOOTH BREEZE (10) gets a change of rider and has been freshened up since finishing fifth over 1710m in stakes class at this track (Turf) last start. Can feature prominently. JACK AND JIM (8) had support when resuming last time out but never threatened when a disappointing lost rider,, over 1609m at Aqueduct Turf (Turf). Manuel Franco who has scored on him two times retains the mount. One of the contenders. MO TRUMP (4) was in contention on the bend and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1609m at Aqueduct Turf (Turf), beaten 3.5 lengths. Should take a lot from that hit-out. In the right race and is sure to be prominent.

Last start 2nd of 7 at Delaware Park Turf on June 6 over 1710m, 4.5 len behind Magical Ways carrying 56kg at $8.30. Hard to make a winning case.

Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a 0.3 len at Aqueduct Turf June 20 over 1710m defeating Bar Fourteen with 56kg at $16.49. The start before that ran second last in a small field at Aqueduct on May 10 over 1408m, 9 len behind Remi's Moon carrying 56kg at $3.32. Impressive win last start and is in the mix again.
