Saratoga Race 1 - Race 1 - Allowance Optional Claiming
WYNSTOCK (6) missed the frame two starts ago on the dirt at Saratoga but followed that with a win, also on dirt, at Saratoga over 1811m four weeks ago. Brings the right form to the contest. TIZ DASHING (1) finished 3 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1609m at Saratoga Inner Turf six-and-a-half weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Should be poised just off the lead. Best form puts him right in this. RIGHT TO VOTE (5) has two wins and one placing from three starts this campaign. Scored last start by 1.5 lengths at Saratoga Inner Turf (Turf) over 2213m after being handy all the way. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. CUGINO (3) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1811m at Colonial Downs Turf (Turf), beaten half a length. Worth noting Flavien Prat goes aboard. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is good enough to play a major role. Something for the Multiples: CARSON'S RUN (2) CAPTURE THE FLAG (4)
