Saratoga Race 14 - Race 14 - Allowance Optional Claiming
ROTTERDAM (10) is coming off a determined win last start over 3219m at Colonial Downs Turf (Turf) five-and-a-half weeks ago. Down in the weights this time so he is expected to measure up again. CAPITAL PARTNER (2) finished 0.7 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1609m at Aqueduct Turf after being prominent at the corner when resuming from a spell as $2.55 favourite. Tackles a longer journey this time. Should be prominent from the outset. Will play a major role. COMPLEX AGENDA (7) did well to score at this track two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when in contention on the bend before finishing fourth over 2414m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. VERSAILLES ROAD (4) saluted two runs ago then turned in a nice run last time out when third over 2414m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.

Second-up. First-up after three months 6th of 8 at Ellis Park on July 18 over 1609m, 15 len behind Zat's The One carrying 53.5kg at $6.68. Previously second-up came from midfield; 3rd of 12 at Kentucky on August 31 over 1609m, 4 len behind Password with 54kg at $15.84. Ready for improvement with that run under the belt.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 34-day let-up. At the latest run raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 11 at this track on July 5 over 2414m, 2 len behind Bettrluckythangood carrying 57kg at $10.04. The race before that won by a nose at this track June 7 over 1710m defeating The Paddock Pastor with 57kg at $3.56. Can improve on that reasonable effort last time out.
