Saratoga Race 4 - Race 4 - Allowance Optional Claiming
SERENDIPITY (7) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second when resuming last start over 1710m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf). Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. RELAXX (1) was narrowly beaten last start when second in a small field over 2213m at Aqueduct Turf (Turf) at the first run of the campaign. Should park just off the speed. Best form puts her right in this. POWER OF DESTINY (6) improved sharply on her seventh two starts back in the G3 BELLE MAHONE STAKES at Woodbine All Weather with a win over 1710m at Woodbine a month ago, getting home by 0.3 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. PURLOIN (8) returns from a layoff of six months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1609m at Aqueduct. Worth plenty of thought.

Comes here off a 45-day let-up. Most recently 4th in a small field at Monmouth Park in LR on June 21 over 1710m, 10 len behind Dry Powder with 53.5kg at $30.60. Before that ran last of 8 at Gulfstream Park Turf in LR on May 16 over 1609m, 5.5 len behind Turino with 55.5kg at $9. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.
