Saratoga Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
ISLAND TOWN (2) Fresh after a break. Made all to win by a margin of 3/4L last run at Churchill Downs and has a good draw. Displays good tactical speed. Rates a winning chance. METATRON (7) First up from a break of 36 weeks. Caught the eye when 3rd last start at Aqueduct but matched against tougher rivals. First race for a new trainer. Right in this. TARTABULL (3) Tailed off to finish 8th last time at Colonial Downs. Giving another chance here but up in class. Luis Saez and Rohan G Crichton deserve serious attention when combined. Respect. UNAUTHORIZED (5) Didn't find the line when 7th last time at this venue and competing at a higher class. Edgard J Zayas and Rodolphe Brisset must be respected when they team up. Keep it safe and include in any exotic bets.

First run back from a break. Controlled the pace to win by 3/4L last run at Churchill Downs and drawn nicely. Has shown early pace in races to date. Good tough competitor that can be supported.

Jumped at $4.50 and didn't attack the line when 8th last time at Colonial Downs. Giving another chance here but competing in a higher grade. Can win.

Racing fresh after a 36 week break. Finished well when 3rd beaten by 1 1/2L last start at Aqueduct but coming back in distance. Change in trainer. Strong claims.

Started $28.00 and couldn't maintain the pace when 6th last time around here and testing ability against stronger contenders. Needs a mighty effort to win this.
