Saratoga Race 5 - Race 5 - Starter Optional Claiming
RAMAJAY (4) First up after a break. Rounded them up when winning last start at Gulfstream Park but challenged by more formidable competitors. Has shown early pace in races to date. Warrants a bet. SHARONS BEACH (6) Was strong late when 2nd beaten by 3/4L last run at Horseshoe Indianapolis but taking on stronger competition. Has early speed and positions nicely. Looks to be value. UNAUTHORIZED (8) Back from a break. Spaced the field to win by 3 1/2L last start at Oaklawn Park and form has been improving over recent runs. Up to these. TRIPP'S PROMISE (1) Got going late when 4th last time at Ellis Park and dropping in class. Finishes off strongly. Drawn well. Genuine winning chance.

Started at $9.50 and overtook some late when 4th last time at Ellis Park and up against a less competitive field. Has a great burst of speed late. Should be in the finish.

Jumped at $10.00 and crept into 5th last run at this venue and solid career start. Putting up notable efforts this preparation but will be down in distance. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

Resuming after a spell. Bold effort when winning last start at Gulfstream Park but up against a more competitive field. Won't be far away during the run. Commands respect.

Jumped at $7.00 and came in 5th last time at Churchill Downs and facing a stronger group of contenders. Should be going forward early. One for the place and exotics betting.

Finished amongst the placegetters when 2nd last run at Horseshoe Indianapolis but stepping up to a higher level. Has plenty of early speed. Have to respect the recent stable form. Definitely worth considering.

Racing fresh today after a break. Gave nothing else a chance when winning by 3 1/2L last start at Oaklawn Park and getting better in recent performances. Good chance in this.
