Saratoga Race 7 - Race 7 - Starter Optional Claiming
NEW YORK SCRAPPY (1) has scored at his last three starts, most recently by 0.3 lengths over 1308m at Saratoga (Dirt). That continued the solid form this campaign, with six wins and two minor placings from 13 starts. Leading player again. PROJECTABILITY (2) settled well back but hit the line well to finish fourth, beaten 3 lengths, over 1106m here last time. Should be doing best work late. MONEY MAKES MONEY (4) returns from a spell of 11 weeks and did score first-up when last in work at Santa Anita Turf (Turf) over 1207m. Lines up for the first time for the Robertino Diodoro stable. One of the genuine hopes in the race. BRIDLE A BUTTERFLY (3) has switched yards since finishing fourth four weeks ago over 1106m at this track. Has ability and makes plenty of appeal.

On a three run winning streak. At the latest run came from midfield and won by a 0.3 len at Saratoga July 10 over 1308m defeating Kenny Be carrying 57kg at $5.70. The run before that won by a 0.3 len at this track June 7 over 1106m defeating Van Vollenhoven with 57kg at $11.45. Will not spend a penny from the inside alley.

Recent form sound. Most recently 4th of 8 at this track on July 17 over 1106m, 3 len behind Boston's Phinest carrying 57kg at $12.20. The start before that held ground to the line 3rd of 8 at Saratoga on June 5 over 1207m, 9 len behind Hit The Post carrying 57kg at $7.86. Plenty to like about his prospects.

Gelding returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last preparation third of 8 at Santa Anita Turf May 22 over 1207m, 1.3 len behind Double Jab carrying 57kg at $3.60. Previous preparation first-up won by 1.5 len Santa Anita Turf April 30 over 1207m defeating Steak Fries carrying 57kg at $5.20. Look for a bold run.
