Saratoga Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Claiming
JAYME'S TURN (5) was well supported last time out but after being prominent at the corner disappointed in finishing fourth over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 5 lengths. Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment. OATH (6) is a four-year-old filly who is having her first run for the Linda Rice yard. Finished off last campaign with a seventh at Keeneland (Dirt) four-and-a-half months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but looks nicely placed. Expected to be in the finish. SPIRIT FORWARD (1) settled well back and failed to come on last start when eighth over 1106m at Saratoga Turf (Turf) at her first run back from a break. Going onto Lasix may be the catalyst for a return to form. ESSENCE L VEE (2) finished 11 lengths from the winner in seventh on turf at Aqueduct Turf two starts back. Missed the frame in another run on turf last time at Aqueduct Turf over 1710m when 11 lengths adrift in fifth. Worth another chance returning to the dirt.

Second-up. Promising on debut 4th of 7 at Aqueduct on September 19 over 1308m, 20 len behind St Brigid's Cross with 54kg at $37.13. Went for a spell before returning 8th of 11 at Saratoga Turf on July 23 over 1106m, 6 len behind Garden Of Grace with 55.5kg at $36.31. Strips fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
