Saratoga Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance Optional Claiming
OIL CAPITAL (9) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 1207m at Saratoga (Dirt). Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. RUN CURTIS RUN (1) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1207m at Aqueduct Inner Turf, clocking in 7 lengths from the winner. Generally goes well here with a win and four minor placings from six tries. Likely to feature. TWISTED FILIGREE (2) was in contention on the corner and finished third last time over 1106m at this track (Turf), beaten 2.75 lengths. Placed to advantage and can take this out. BOLTAGE (8) registered a strong win two runs ago then turned in a nice run last time out when second over 1106m at Ellis Park Turf, beaten 1.5 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.8 len at Monmouth Park Turf on July 26 over 1106m defeating Maximatch with 55kg at $5.70.
