Saratoga Race 14 - Race 14 - Allowance Optional Claiming
STARK (9) Rounded them up to win last start at Colonial Downs. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Has a nice turn of foot. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . CAPITAL PARTNER (2) Improved when 4th last run at Aqueduct and stepping up in distance. Jockey Flavien Prat rates highly aboard and drawn nicely. Up against tougher competition. Definite claims. LIGHT CAV (5) First up after a break. Romped home to win last start at Horseshoe Indianapolis and form has been improving over recent runs. Coming to a new trainer. Underrated. MIZTERTONIC (8) Struggled with the pace when 10th last time at the track and up against a higher level of opposition. Possesses very good finishing speed. Going well this campaign. Will give a big sight.

Started at $3.50 and ran past a few when 4th last run at Aqueduct and can find a nice position from the draw. Jockey Flavien Prat is in form. Strong claims.

Kept boxing on when 3rd last time here but facing formidable opponents. Have to respect the recent Todd A Pletcher form. Very competitive this campaign. Betting is the best guide.

First run back after spell. Picked up late to win last start at Horseshoe Indianapolis and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Change in trainer. Capable type.
