Saratoga Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance Optional Claiming
FULL SCREEN (3) turned in a handy position before finishing second last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt), beaten one length as favourite. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. VIBE (4) returns from a break of nine weeks. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a pulled up over 1609m at this track. Finds the right race to launch another bright campaign. SAN SIRO (1) turned in a moderate run over this journey last time out, settling out the back and failing to come on when sixth over 1811m in the G3 Prairie Meadows Cornhusker Handicap (Dirt). Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. BRAMITO (2) never really threatened when resuming last time out, finishing midfield and beaten 6 lengths over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Deserves another chance in this line up.
