Saratoga Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
SWAGING (10) was a winner on dirt over 1207m at Aqueduct two back but missed the frame on turf over 1207m at Aqueduct Turf last time. Looks a top chance switching back to dirt. SALMING (1) doesn't win very often but ran a nice race last time out over 1207m at Aqueduct (Dirt), finishing third and beaten 2 lengths. Meeting a deeper field this time but he deserves plenty of thought. MAJESTIC ARC (3) did a good job last time, finishing in the money when second over 1207m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Drawn to enjoy a nice trail just off the pace. One to consider. RUMBLYOUNGMANRUMBL (8) used the rails draw to good effect last start, bouncing straight to the lead and scoring an all-the-way win over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Another bold showing expected.

Second-up. First-up after six months 7th of 10 at Aqueduct on June 20 over 1408m, 20 len behind Tapwrits Temper carrying 57kg at $15.13. Previously second-up ran last of 10 at Saratoga Inner Turf on August 17 over 1710m, 22 len behind The Paddock Pastor with 54.5kg at $56. Unlikely to threaten.

Second-up. First-up after six months ran last of 9 at Churchill Downs on June 25 over 1308m, 11 len behind Rockies Balboa with 53.5kg at $45.57. Previously second-up won by 0.5 len at Fairgrounds November 27 over 1207m defeating Cowboy Roy carrying 54.5kg at $2.70. Should progress from that first-up run.
