Saratoga Race 3 - Race 3 - Starter Optional Claiming

SHARONS BEACH (6) clung on to finish second last start over 1207m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt), beaten 0.8 lengths as favourite. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is good enough to feature. NEIGH BABY (2) got off the mark over 1308m at this track (Dirt) last start, scoring by half a length. Re-unites with Jamie Rodriguez who was on board last start. No reason he cannot get the job done again. RAMAJAY (7) returns from a layoff of ten weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1308m at Keeneland. Has found a suitable race and is worth including. FIRST BLESSING (4) had been racing consistently with three minor placings on end prior to finishing seventh most recently over 1811m at Aqueduct. Back to the track at which he finished third two runs back. Should be poised just off the lead. Should give backers a sight.
