Saratoga Race 5 - Race 5 - Starter Optional Claiming

SHARONS BEACH (6) scored his maiden win four back and is poised to salute again after finishing in the money at the last three outings, most recently when second over 1207m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Best figures should see him run well. RAMAJAY (4) comes here off a break of 11 weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1308m at Keeneland. Capable of playing a major role. TRIPP'S PROMISE (1) got the prize two runs ago at Churchill Downs. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1207m at Ellis Park, beaten 5 lengths. Has the ability to find the winners' list. MR HOOLIGAN (2) went forward and proved too strong last time, scoring with one length to spare over 1207m at Presque Isle Downs (Synthetic). Solid claims.

Racing well recently. Comes here off a 41-day let-up. At the latest run made ground from midfield; 2nd of 9 at Horseshoe Indianapolis on June 25 over 1207m, 0.8 len behind King Gerald carrying 53.5kg at $1.90. Before that ran on from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Churchill Downs on April 29 over 1408m, 0.5 len behind Sweet Freedom with 53.5kg at $3.34. With a little improvement can take this out.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Comes off a 60 day let-up. Resuming 4th in a small field at Churchill Downs on May 8 over 1207m, 6 len behind Madaket Road carrying 53.5kg at $30.24. Second run from a spell 6th of 13 at this track on June 6 over 1308m, 8 len behind Buttah carrying 55kg at $50.73. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.
