Saratoga Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance Optional Claiming

ASBURY PARK (4) was well held in the Old Forester Turf Classic won by Rhetorical over 1811m at Churchill Downs Turf at his last appearance four months ago. Well placed in this company. ARKHIPOV (7) fought on well to finish second last start over 2213m at this track (Turf), beaten 1.5 lengths when resuming. Looks well placed so expect another forward display. THE HIDDEN CHAMBER (6) was allowed to drift back from an outside draw last time but found the line strongly to finish fifth, beaten 5 lengths, over 2213m at this track (Turf). Solid top-three prospects. SARDIS (5) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 2213m at this track (Turf). Looks well placed so expect a big run this time.

The run before that 3rd in a small field at Saratoga Turf on July 10 over 1710m, 1.4 len behind Elnajd with 57kg at $14. Wasn't too far off the mark last time. In the mix again.
