Saratoga Race 6 - Race 6 - Claiming
ANCIENT WORLD (1) resumes after a break of ten months. Won on debut to launch the last campaign over 1207m at Fairgrounds. Looks set to run well. TAPWRITS TEMPER (10) finished fourth two runs back at Aqueduct (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 6 lengths after being prominent at the bend over 1408m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Taking on a better line-up this time but he deserves plenty of thought. THREE LITTLE BIRDS (5) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start when he made late ground but found a couple better over 1207m at Aqueduct, beaten 5.5 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can take the next step and salute. LIBERTY RISING (2) was beaten 8 lengths into fourth over 1207m at this track three weeks ago. Finds a nice race and can make amends.

At the latest run 4th in a small field at this track on July 3 over 1207m, 8 len behind Anyway carrying 57kg at $39.25. The race before that ran second last of 7 at Aqueduct on May 15 over 1207m, 8 len behind Projectability carrying 57kg at $25.06. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.
