Saratoga Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance Optional Claiming
HOT CURRENCY (2) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1408m in Listed grade at this track (Dirt). Ideally placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. GRACE AND GRIT (6) raced in the leading division and kept going to score by 2 lengths last time out over 1308m at this track (Dirt). In a suitable race and can play a major role. KAY CUP (3) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on December 31, finishing fourth and beaten 5 lengths over 1308m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Among the better hopes. NINA KAY (1) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at Aqueduct ten weeks ago. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Can feature in the finish.
