Saratoga Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance
LIGHTNING STRIKE (14) met with solid support last start over 1308m at Saratoga (Dirt) when second, beaten 2 lengths. Winning rider Manuel Franco stays aboard. Bold showing expected. TUTHILLTOWN (11) was a new acquisition for the M Miceli team last start when she made steady ground to run into second over 1106m at this track (Turf). Should be right in the mix again. DANCINGWITHDESTINY (8) showed good early speed and led around the bend last start before being cut down, finishing fourth and beaten 2.25 lengths over this journey at this track (Turf). Among the main hopes. MARIA CALLAS (9) was prominent at the turn and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1207m at Aqueduct Turf (Turf), beaten 2.25 lengths. Steps up a level but she is good enough to take this out.
