Saratoga Race 5 - Race 5 - Starter Allowance

EZ ROLL (4) is a model of consistency with top-three finishes at his last six starts, most recently finishing second over 1811m at Aqueduct. Looks very tough to beat again. URGENCY (6) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score by 2.25 lengths last time out over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Goes up a rung or two but he is worth serious consideration. ANTIETAM (7) turned in a fine effort to score by 4 lengths at today's track and distance when first-up from a layoff last time out. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field. PAPA YO (1) comes here off a break of four months. Scored over 1710m at Oaklawn Park at the start of last prep. Now under the care of new trainer Linda Rice. Looks a strong top-three prospect.

Racing well recently. Comes here off a 40-day let-up. Most recently ran on from midfield; 2nd of 9 at Aqueduct on June 28 over 1811m, 6 len behind Georgia Magic with 57kg at $2.99. Before that won by 0.5 len at Aqueduct June 19 over 1811m defeating Whittington Park with 57kg at $3.46. One of the prime contenders in a most suitable contest.
