Saratoga Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming

STURDY (6) returns after a spell of four-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1673m at Parx. Has found a suitable race. CURVINO (7) gets a change of rider and has been freshened up since finishing fifth over 1408m at Aqueduct (Dirt) last start. Can feature prominently. AMERICAN GRANT (4) was unplaced on turf over 1710m at Saratoga Inner Turf two back then again couldn't find the top-three on the same surface last time out, finishing ninth over 1911m at Aqueduct Turf. Strong contender back on the dirt. Can atone. THORSNESS (1) finished second two runs back at Aqueduct (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 2 lengths over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
