Saratoga Race 12 - Race 12 - Mdn Claiming
MAXIMUM HEAT (11) has been in the betting at both starts but has failed to break through. Most recently finished sixth over 1710m at this track (Turf), beaten 3.5 lengths. Finds a nice race and looks a great chance to repay supporters. GILBANE (8) finished just a nose from the winner in second when fresh from a break last start over 1710m at this track (Turf) after racing on the speed. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BEFORE THE WIND (1) is yet to break through in 10 runs. Finished ninth at his last appearance over 1710m at Saratoga Turf (Turf) on July 11. Looks to be in the right race to play a big role. LOBBYIST (5) turned in another moderate effort last start when 9 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1710m at this track. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
