Saratoga Race 11 - Race 11 - Allowance
BLAMICKER (5) Controlled the speed when winning by 1L last start at Finger Lakes and have to respect the form at the trip. Facing formidable rivals. Massive hope. ILLMATIC (1) Close up last start at Aqueduct and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Expecting to settle positively. Been in the money 4 from 4 attempts this preparation. Can win. DAKOTA COUNTRY (9) Picked up nicely to win last run at Santa Anita and facing a weaker grade. Unbeaten last 2 starts. First race for a new trainer. Irad Ortiz Jr adds value. Goes very close. RHYTON (7) Flashed home late into 2nd beaten by 1 1/2L last start here and showing consistent performance in races. Will be trying to topple them late. Exotics hope in this event.

Threw down a serious challenge last start at Aqueduct and can save some energy from the alley. Has plenty of early speed. Flavien Prat is a pivotal booking. Good chance of taking this out.
