Saratoga Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming
PASHMINA (13) lines up on the back of a 12 length fifth over 1710m at Delaware Park. This looks an ideal assignment. BOURBON BETTY (1) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.1 lengths from the winner in third over 1609m at Saratoga Inner Turf after being prominent at the turn. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. KOKOMOTION (12) resumes after a break of four-and-a-half months. Won on debut to launch the last campaign over 1710m at Tampa Bay Downs Turf. Key runner. SOLOIST (4) finished runner-up on turf over 1609m at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf two back then filled another minor placing last start on dirt over 1811m at Delaware Park Turf. Well placed in this easier race. Must be respected.

Comes off a 57 day let-up. Last start ran second last in a small field at Penn National Turf in LR on May 29 over 1609m, 5 len behind Bandiagara carrying 52.5kg at $3.80. The race before that 4th of 10 at Gulfstream Park Turf in LR on March 28 over 1509m, 2.5 len behind Tam Tam with 54.5kg at $5.80. Likely to run around at long odds and deservedly so.
