Saratoga Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance Optional Claiming
BERNIEANDTHEROSE (2) First up. Couldn't stay in touch when 6th last start at Aqueduct. Expecting improvement and will try to take advantage of the draw. Up against a more competitive field. One of the major hopes. BOW DRAW (8) Blitzed its rivals when winning by 9L last run around here and dropping in class. Shows good finishing speed. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Key player. KRISSYS STAR (5) Despite getting tired late still grabbed 2nd beaten by 2 1/4L last run at Aqueduct but racing in stronger company. Should come to hand quickly. Worth strong consideration. SOUNDBITE (9) Close up last start at Delaware Park and facing a weaker grade. Racing for a new trainer. Added confidence jockey with Irad Ortiz Jr doing the steering. Respect against this field.

Was in the race for a long way when 2nd last run at Aqueduct but challenged by more formidable competitors. Has early speed and positions nicely. One of the punters top hopes at a very generous price.

Found another gear when winning by 4 1/4L last time at the track. Jockey Manuel Franco and trainer Chad C Brown have a high strike rate together. Can measure up against these.

Threw down a serious challenge last start at Delaware Park and matched against a less competitive field. Change in trainer. Jockey Irad Ortiz Jr rates highly. Has claims.
