Saratoga Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming
GEORGIA MAGIC (6) has been a regular in the winners' stall of late including last start in dominant fashion over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. URBAN PLANNER (3) finished eighth two runs back at Ellis Park (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 2.75 lengths after being prominent at the corner over 1811m at Ellis Park (Dirt). Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is one of the key runners. SOLO VENTURI (7) is a progressive four-year-old entire who hasn't raced since finishing third over 1710m in the G3 Challenger Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt) on March 7. Has won when fresh from a spell in the past. Should be poised just off the lead. Sure to be competitive. YO DADDY (9) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 1811m at this track. No surprise to see him in the mix.

Comes here off a 33-day let-up. Most recently 4th in a small field at Monmouth Park on July 19 over 1710m, 2.25 len behind La Frost with 55kg at $3.10. Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at Gulfstream Park on July 3 over 1609m, 3 len behind Back Em Up with 55kg at $6.90. Unlikely to threaten.

Chasing a hat-trick. Comes off a 33 day let-up. Last start scored a big 4 len win at this track on July 19 over 1609m defeating Iron Dome carrying 57kg at $6.64. The start before that scored a big 6 len win at Aqueduct on June 28 over 1811m defeating Ez Roll carrying 57kg at $3.23. Should be right in the finish.
