Saratoga Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance
PRETTY BOY MIAH (6) made progress last time out, finishing 6 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1811m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. TAGERMEEN (7) pushed forward and led throughout to score a 1.5 lengths win over 1308m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) last time. More weight to carry this time but expected to go very well. ROCK MUSIC (2) finished 3 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1207m at this track three weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Can play a big role. UNBROKEN CHAIN (1) finished 12 lengths behind the winner in seventh place when resuming over 1207m last start at this track (Dirt). Has a decent second up record. Can do better than last.

Second-up. Comes off a 42-day let-up. First-up after eight months won by 1.5 len at Churchill Downs June 27 over 1308m defeating Campobasso with 53.5kg at $3.23.
