Saratoga Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
VEKOMANCER (3) missed the frame fresh up on turf at Aqueduct Inner Turf then again on turf and again out of the placings, finishing seventh at Saratoga Turf over 1106m when beaten 5 lengths. Best form stacks up nicely. Big chance to atone. CLOUDY CHANCE (9) finished sixth over 1408m at this track (Dirt) at her most recent appearance on June 5. Has found the right race. VINO FRIZZANTE (1) did very well to fill a minor placing when resuming at this track but raced below expectations last time over 1308m at this track (Dirt), finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. MASCARA (8) has registered two minor placings from three runs this campaign. Turned in another good effort last time out when third over 1207m at Ellis Park (Dirt). In a suitable race and can find the winner's circle.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming 4th of 7 at Aqueduct Inner Turf on June 14 over 1207m, 5 len behind Delightful Flame carrying 55kg at $21.73. Second run from a spell ran last of 7 at Saratoga Turf on July 10 over 1106m, 5 len behind Capturing with 57kg at $18.09. Fitter and should appreciate the step up to 1207m.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 34-day let-up. At the latest run 3rd of 8 at Ellis Park on July 10 over 1207m, 4 len behind Up The Creek with 55.5kg at $4.89. Before that gave a sight but was run down late 2nd in a small field at Churchill Downs on June 3 over 1207m, 0.8 len behind Carol's Melody with 56kg at $3.28. Best form should see her measure right up.
