Saratoga Race 4 - Race 4 - Starter Optional Claiming

GARDINER (7) built on a nice third when fresh from a spell two starts back at Churchill Downs (Dirt) with success as favourite over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) two months ago, getting home by 3.5 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. MISCHIEVOUS M (5) ran well below his best last time over 1308m at this track (Dirt), beaten 11 lengths into fifth at $4.91. Should park just off the speed. Expecting a bold showing. BIG HAT WILLIE (2) made progress last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1207m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TREATY OBLIGATION (3) finished 6 lengths behind the winner in eighth place when resuming over 1710m last start at Saratoga Turf (Turf). Has a fair record when second up, including two top-three finishes. Can improve sharply here.

Most recently ran second last of 7 at this track on August 12 over 1308m, 14 len behind Classic Time with 56kg at $17.29. Before that ran last of 7 at Saratoga Turf on July 26 over 1106m, 6 len behind Vacation Dance with 56kg at $27.17. Will find this too difficult.

Second run from a spell ran on from midfield and won by 3.5 len at Churchill Downs on June 21 over 1207m defeating Slim Slow Slider with 53.5kg at $1.44. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.
