Saratoga Race 6 - Race 6 - Claiming
SECURED LANDING (2) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by a nose over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Meeting a deeper field this time but he is good enough to play a major role. GLEN AIRY (1) produced a reasonable effort when second last start after being in contention on the turn over 1609m at this track, beaten a nose. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Steps up a level but he is good enough to feature. BERNIN HOT (9) was in contention on the turn and finished third last time over 1811m at this track (Dirt), beaten 2.5 lengths. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race. METATRON'S MUSE (8) is having his first run since winning by 1.3 lengths five-and-a-half weeks ago over 1811m at this track. Has transferred to the Gustavo Rodriguez stable over the break. Sure to make his presence felt.

Form hard to fault. Last start 2nd of 7 at this track on August 26 over 1609m, nose behind Secured Landing with 56kg at $3.84. The start before that came from midfield and won by 2.5 len at this track on August 14 over 1811m defeating Sharp Spark with 55kg at $2.50. Solid run last time and is a strong winning hope again.
