Saratoga Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
ISLAND TOWN (2) is a promising galloper who got the prize at his last run before a break ten weeks ago over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Should be prominent from the outset. Expected to be in the finish. TARTABULL (3) is a talented colt who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 9 lengths behind Pont Aven over 1408m in stakes class at Colonial Downs (Dirt). Finds a suitable assignment and can play a big role. HOT PROPERTY (6) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 1.2 lengths when fourth over 1408m at this track a week ago. Finds the right race this time and can turn things around. NASH POTATOES (1) improved last start to finish second over 1106m at this track. Well placed and can figure in the finish again.

Most recently ran second last of 7 at this track on August 5 over 1207m, 8 len behind Sharons Beach with 56kg at $28.82. The start before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 9 at Churchill Downs on June 12 over 1207m, 4.5 len behind Tripp's Promise carrying 54.5kg at $6.76. Easily accounted for last time out but this suits.
