Saratoga Race 5 - Race 5 - Starter Allowance
COACH CASE (9) stalked the pace when resuming at this track and trip last start then worked to the line steadily to finish second. Blinkers come off second up. Fitter so a bold showing is likely. SALT SPARTAN (10) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1911m at Aqueduct Turf after being prominent at the corner. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. CALLING CARD (14) is racing well on the dirt of late, hitting the frame two back at Aqueduct then improving to score at Aqueduct over 1609m five weeks ago. Can measure up again. Shapes as one to consider. MO KREESA (8) has not won for a long while. Last raced on July 12 when beaten 7 lengths into ninth at this track (Turf) over 1609m. Likely improver with strong prospects.
