Saratoga Race 9 - Race 9 - Starter Optional Claiming

SEEKER'S HOPE (12) finished third when resuming two runs back at Saratoga (Dirt) then progressed nicely last time out to score by 10 lengths as public elect over 1207m at Saratoga (Dirt). Manuel Franco scored on him last time and retains the ride. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is up to the task. LIGHT FANTASTIC (2) improved sharply on his eighth two starts back at this track (Turf) with success over 1106m at this track (Turf) two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 4 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Taking on a better field but he is capable of another big run. ESCAPADES (4) went forward and proved too strong when resuming last time out, scoring by 6 lengths over 1106m at this track (Turf). Drawn to stalk the leaders. Goes up a rung or two but he is good enough to take this out. MATH TUTOR (11) showed good early speed over 1207m at Saratoga (Dirt) last time and went on to salute by 4 lengths. Has a strong association with Christopher Elliott who has been in the saddle for his last two wins. One of the better hopes.

Second-up. First-up after eight months scored a big 6 len win at this track on August 20 over 1106m defeating Deported carrying 57kg at $2.63. Previously second-up 4th of 7 at Gulfstream Park All Weather on December 20 over 1006m, 4.5 len behind Sam The Sham carrying 55.5kg at $6.30. Only needs to hold that form to be winning again. Improver with winning prospects.
