Saratoga Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance Optional Claiming
VIBRANT EXPRESS (3) Couldn't maintain the pace when 6th last start at Aqueduct. Looking for an improved run and competing in a less challenging grade. Won't be far away during the run. No shock to see a win. TIGER TWENTY FOUR (1) Romped home to win last start at Aqueduct and gets a favourable draw. Producing consistent results since returning from a break but facing formidable opponents. A win wouldn't surprise. DAPPER MOON (7) Weakened under pressure when 5th last time at Churchill Downs. Giving another go here and dropping in grade. Shows good closing speed. Definite claims. WHATCHATALKINABOUT (5) Finished 8th last time at this venue. Happy to overlook that run and going down in grade. Have to respect the recent Wesley A Ward form. Worth a ticket.

Ran on strongly to win last start at Aqueduct and has minimal work to do from the draw. Been in the money on multiple occasions this campaign. Should go very close.

Was $2.88 and lost ground in the run home when 6th last start at Aqueduct. Looking for an improved run and up against weaker rivals. Should come to hand quickly. Strong chance to be considered.

Started at $11.00 and ran 8th last time here. Happy to overlook that run and competing in a lower grade. Recent form of the stable is strong. Has definite claims.

Started $18.00 and looked outclassed when 8th last start here but matched against lesser competition. Jockey Jr Ricardo Santana and trainer Linda Rice form a proven partnership. Can figure in the finish.

Started $9.00 and faded to finish 5th last time at Churchill Downs. Giving another go here and up against a less competitive field. Finishes off strongly. Quietly confident of a big run at decent odds.
