Saratoga Race 8 - Race 8 - Starter Optional Claiming
GRACIE'S DELIGHT (6) Resuming after a break. Dictated terms in front when winning by a margin of 5 1/2L last start at Keeneland but up in grade. Has early speed and positions nicely. Worth strong consideration. OKLAHOMA SMOKE (1) Was eating up the ground late when winning last start here and drawn beautifully. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Have to respect the recent stable form. Worth consideration. FROM SCRATCH (9) Was much too speedy in front to win by a margin of 2L last time at this track but testing ability against stronger contenders. Displays good tactical speed. Honest enough to be an each way player. SHE'S GOT WILL (2) First up specialist. Solid run when placing 3rd last start at Aqueduct and will try to take advantage of the barrier. Facing formidable rivals. Chance for exotics punters.

Goes well when fresh. Rattled home nicely into 3rd beaten by almost 2 1/2L last start at Aqueduct and has a positive draw. Matched against a stronger field. One for the exotics players.

Displayed a good turn of foot when winning last time at Aqueduct and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Potential to run into a place.

Odds of $7.50 and not up to standard when 6th last start at the track and coming back in trip. Can go through the gears. Challenged by more formidable competitors. Best to watch only.

At $28.00 struggled with the pace when 10th last start at this track but hard to fault at the distance. Drops back to a suitable class. Simply cannot have in this.

Jumped at $7.50 and faded to finish 6th last run at Colonial Downs but taking on a lower class of opponents. Expecting to settle positively. Showing great form this campaign. Place at best.
