Saratoga Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
NEON BORDEAUX (8) Set a strong tempo before fading at the finish to place 2nd last start at Laurel Park and ideal distance as proven previously. Flavien Prat is a smart booking. Appears well in this. RUNGIUS (7) Proven record first up. Folded up in the straight when 6th last run at the track. Has the ability to turn things around and competing in a lower grade. Worth a ticket. AWESOME EMPIRE (4) Faded to finish 6th last run at Aqueduct. Giving another chance here but up against stronger opponents. Must respect. HOURS IN A DAY (6) Resumes from a spell. Displayed a strong effort throughout the race when 3rd beaten by just over 9L last time at Aqueduct but stepping up to a higher level. Worth keeping safe.

Started at $36.00 and looked outclassed when 10th last start at Churchill Downs but has a good draw. Up against a higher level of opposition. Needs too much luck.

First up after 40 weeks and just short of the win first up last preparation at Lone Star Park. Should jump out and bowl along. Jaime Rodriguez is highly regarded. Modest contender.

Jumped at $8.00 and didn't threaten when 6th last run at Aqueduct. Giving another chance here but racing against tougher rivals. Very capable of taking this out.
