Saratoga Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Claiming
ICE HOUSE (6) resumes from a spell of 12 weeks. Could only manage to finish seventh at the latest run over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Has ability and can get off the mark. WINGFOOT (3) is progressing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at Ellis Park (Dirt) over 1207m after being in the firing line all the way. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. BOOTSY'S A RASCAL (4) is a nine-start maiden who finished fifth at his most recent outing over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Finds the right race and is worth consideration. ROYAL MERIT (1) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at Monmouth Park, beaten 1.75 lengths into fourth. Suitably placed so can turn things around.

Third-up today. Not raced for 40 days. Resuming held ground to the line 3rd of 12 at Churchill Downs on May 29 over 1408m, 6 len behind Royal Sapphire with 53.5kg at $2.99. Second run from a spell held ground to the line 2nd of 12 at Ellis Park on July 18 over 1207m, 2 len behind Stone County with 54kg at $8.81. Fitter now and making headway. Will take beating.

Is first-up after a break of 12 weeks and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last campaign seventh of 13 at this track June 7 over 1308m, 8 len behind King Farro carrying 55kg at $7.91. First up last campaign fourth of 10 at Aqueduct Turf May 9 over 1207m, 6 len behind Sammy C Note with 54.5kg at $2.85. Has plenty of scope for improvement this time in work.
