Saratoga Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance Optional Claiming
SPEIGHTFUL LILY (6) Ran well when 2nd last run at this venue and taking on easier opposition. More confidence with jockey Flavien Prat guiding the horse. Classy enough for this field and is one of the major players. ARMY GAL (5) Strong record when resuming. Kept chasing when 4th last run at Aqueduct and have to respect the form at this distance. Has a great burst of speed late. One of the major hopes. NEXT ON STAGE (1) Backs up quickly. Folded up in the straight when 8th last start around here. Capable of a strong comeback and has minimal work to do from the gate. Possesses the talent and has some chance. GRIDLOCK (3) Showed a good turn of foot when 3rd last start at Delaware Park but competing in a more challenging class. In good shape this campaign. Can go through the gears. Solid place bet prospects.

On a short back up. Was $10.00 and looked outclassed when 8th last start here. Capable of a strong comeback and has drawn the rails. Facing a stronger class. Represents value.

Jumped at $43.00 and couldn't maintain the pace when 8th last start at this track but proven runner at this trip. Should muster plenty of early speed. Will struggle to compete in this race.

Put in a competitive run when placing 3rd beaten by 3 3/4L last start at Delaware Park but up against tougher competition. Should be swooping on the field late. Could win this.

Odds of $7.50 and below standard effort when 6th last run at Aqueduct and racing in stronger company. Has very good closing speed. Follow the money.
