Saratoga Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance
SASSMASTER (1) is having his first run since winning by half a length five weeks ago over 1710m at Churchill Downs. Has transferred to the Todd Pletcher stable over the break. Expecting a seamless transition. IRON DOME (8) was well fancied when resuming last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt) when second, beaten 4 lengths. Form this track is hard to knock with three wins from five starts. Right in this. PAGODE (7) was prominent at the bend and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1911m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) when he made late ground, beaten a nose. Nicely placed to take this out. EXPECT THE BEST (6) fought on for second last start over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Dirt), beaten 1.5 lengths to add to some fine recent form. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 37-day let-up. Most recently ran on from midfield; 2nd of 9 at Churchill Downs on June 25 over 1710m, 1.5 len behind Urban Planner with 53.5kg at $9.05. Before that made ground from midfield; 2nd of 7 at Oaklawn Park on May 1 over 1710m, 0.5 len behind Pike Place with 56kg at $1.90. Genuine chance on the back of the last effort.
