Saratoga Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming
SAVE US MELANIA (15) is going well this preparation, including a last start win over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt) to bring up three wins from five runs in the campaign. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. Best figures should see her run well. MYSTIFYING (3) found one marginally better when first-up from a spell last start over 1710m at Keeneland (Turf) after being prominent throughout. Drawn to enjoy a lovely run again. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. BIG BEAUTIFUL (6) went fast early and kicked strongly to score over 1710m at Aqueduct (Turf) last time. Same winning combination here and is sure to be competitive. ANY PORT (13) comes here off a break of 11 months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1609m at Tampa Bay Downs. Definite top-three chance. Something for the Multiples: SPOOL (11) HOPE MISSION (1)
