Saratoga Race 4 - Race 4 - Starter Optional Claiming

SPITFIRE (2) improved last start to finish second over 1710m at Churchill Downs after being in contention on the corner. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. KILLA SALLY (4) is fitter for two runs back from a spell and has been in the placings at both appearances, the latest when third over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Good chance to break through. QUALITY OF ESSENCE (3) improved second up after a fair run to score last time by 2.75 lengths over 1207m at Monmouth Park (Dirt). First try at the trip. Gets chance to show best. HOT GOSSIP (5) was beaten 11 lengths into fourth in a 1609m contest at Aqueduct a month ago. No surprise to see her in the mix.

Resuming. Not seen since winning by 0.8 len Aqueduct March 12 over 1609m defeating It's Carol's Way with 55.5kg at $1.83. On debut fourth of 12 at Aqueduct December 13 over 1308m, 6 len behind Irish Fortune with 54kg at $101.20. This looks too tough.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 35-day let-up. At the latest run raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 8 at Churchill Downs on June 14 over 1710m, 2 len behind Classic Glide with 54.5kg at $3.32. The start before that 4th of 7 at Oaklawn Park in LR on April 18 over 1609m, 4 len behind Holly's Holiday with 53kg at $11.30. Nice effort last time so worth following up.
