Saratoga Race 6 - Race 6 - Allowance Optional Claiming
BRISBANE (5) Passed some rivals in the late stages when 4th last run at Monmouth Park but challenged by a tougher grade. Will give a big sight. POP ART (6) Rocketed home when winning last time at Aqueduct but matched against tougher rivals. Maintaining a perfect record the last 2 runs. Has early speed and positions nicely. Key player. BEING MYSELF (8) Was competitive when 2nd last run at Churchill Downs but testing ability against stronger contenders. Chance for exotics punters. SCYTHIAN (3) Flew home to win last time at Aqueduct and showing improvement in recent outings. Up against a more competitive field. Looks a great place bet.

Back from a break of 35 weeks. Started at $8.50 and ran 7th last time at Del Mar but gets the perfect draw. Coming to a new trainer. Potential to run into a place.

First up after a 36 week break. Jumped at $4.33 and faded to finish 8th last start at Keeneland but gets a favourable draw. Racing against tougher rivals. Likely to be an exotics contender.

Started at $16.00 and appeared lacklustre when 6th last run at Laurel Park but back over more ground. Competing at a higher grade. Need a lot of luck to be close to winning this.

Jumped at $3.00 and weakened to finish 6th last start at Aqueduct and rising in grade. Should jump out and bowl along. Not without a chance.
