Saratoga Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming

SACROSANCT (8) is in fine form and hasn't missed the frame in his past five starts. Last time out he finished third over 1308m at this track. Looks the one to beat again. NAKATOMI (6) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on March 28, finishing fifth and beaten 9 lengths over 1200m in the G1 Dubai Golden Shaheen at Meydan Dirt. Good record at this journey with three wins and 10 minor placings from 17 starts and is among the leading chances. CAT ON TIME (2) settled well back last start and made little impact in the straight when fifth, beaten 4 lengths, over this journey in the G2 Alfred G Vanderbilt Handicap at this track (Dirt). Will enjoy a drop in class so he is a major player. ACOUSTIC AVE (4) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1408m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
