Saratoga Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
SHANGRALA ROAD (9) raced below his best last time when ninth over 1710m at Saratoga Turf (Turf), beaten 11 lengths. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is perfectly placed to score. MIRAGE (8) has switched yards since finishing second three weeks ago over 1811m at this track. Solid chance for the new barn. RAGING SEA CAPTAIN (2) turned in a moderate run over this journey last time out, settling out the back and failing to feature when fifth over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt). This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. YOU'RE LOOKIN GOOD (10) is ticking along okay with two runs this time in. Improved last time out when third, beaten 5 lengths, at this track (Dirt) over 1811m. Among the better chances.
