Saratoga Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance Optional Claiming

WHATCHATALKINABOUT (2) showed good speed to stalk the pace before drawing clear to score by 1.5 lengths over 1308m here last time out. Generally goes well here. Likely to feature. ACOUSTIC AVE (3) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a third most recently over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when beaten 1.3 lengths. Should camp just off the leaders. Best form puts him right in this. BE YOU (4) returns from a spell of four months and did win first-up last time in work over 1408m at Keeneland (Dirt). Has found a suitable race to kick off the campaign. OVER AND OLLIE (6) is ready to win after he just missed last time, beaten 0.3 lengths into second over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out.
