Saratoga Race 7 - Race 7 - Mdn Claiming
LIL TIPSY (7) Produced an eye catching run when 3rd last time at this venue. Linda Rice stable are in good form of late. Producing consistent results this campaign. One of the top hopes. CARA FIORE (6) First up from a break of 26 weeks and came on strongly to finish 2nd first up last preparation at Aqueduct. Jockey Jaime Rodriguez rates highly aboard. Good chance and wouldn't be surprised to see it pick up a win. PULLING THREADS (2) Average performance when 9th last start around here but has a positive gate. Has shown early pace in races to date. Coming to a new trainer. Very strong each way claims. IMMACULATE MOON (1) First run back from a 49 week break. Didn't attack the line when 6th last run at the track but gets a favourable draw. Shows good early pace. Good prospect for the exotics at least.

First up after a break of 49 weeks. At $5.50 gave away some ground when 6th last run at the track but drawn well. Should jump out and bowl along. Slim chance.

Fresh today. Started $23.00 and tailed off to finish 10th last time at Keeneland but fitter for debut run. First race for a new trainer. Not likely to be troubling the more fancied runners today.

First up from a break. Was $7.00 and faded to finish 9th last run at this track but was on debut last time. Might have to make up considerable ground. Others are better.

Started at $11.00 and passed some rivals in the late stages when 4th last time at the track. Chad C Brown has been training plenty of winners recently. Looking at others.

First up from a break of 26 weeks and finished well when 2nd beaten by 1/2L first up last preparation at Aqueduct. Jaime Rodriguez is a strong choice aboard. Should go close.

Was amongst the placegetters when 3rd beaten by 3 1/4L last time at the track. Linda Rice stable are on fire recently. Running with confidence since resuming from a spell. Great chance.

Back from a spell of 31 weeks. Odds of $16.00 and came in 5th last run at Gulfstream Park but having second race start. Should come to hand quickly. Minor claims.
