Saratoga Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming

BEDARD (4) was sent out favourite last time and was not far from the winner when second over 1408m at this track (Dirt) after he was up on the pace all the way. Scored at his only try at this trip. The one to beat. ALTERNATE REALITY (1) has switched yards since finishing second a month ago over 1609m at this track. Has ability and should be right in the finish. BRAZENLY (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 17 lengths when sixth in a 1811m contest at this track five-and-a-half weeks ago. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. FIRST CALL BOB (5) is a last-start winner four weeks ago, scoring by 1.5 lengths over 1811m at this track. Sure to be competitive.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 2nd in a small field at this track on July 30 over 1408m, 0.3 len behind Barb with 57kg at $2.44. The race before that 2nd in a small field at Horseshoe Indianapolis on June 3 over 1673m, 1.3 len behind Instant Replay with 55.5kg at $3.30. Doesn't need to improve much to salute.
