Saratoga Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming
BOSTON'S PHINEST (3) Flew home to win last start here and up against a less challenging field. Made it 2 wins in a row. Deserves consideration. SOD SIREN (6) Has a good record first up. Led from start to finish to win by 1 1/4L last time at Gulfstream Park and putting a tidy record together. In the mix. ONE LAST KNOCK (1) Nice effort to run into 3rd beaten by 2L last run at this venue and will appreciate a good barrier. Kendrick Carmouche takes the reins today. Can measure up to this company. TAQDEER (10) Was in the hunt for a long way when 2nd beaten by 1L last start at Monmouth Park but competing in a more challenging grade. One of the major players.

Strong effort when finishing 3rd beaten by 2L last run here and has the ideal draw. Kendrick Carmouche is a key booking but competing at a higher class. Definite winning chance.

Back after a break. Failed to threaten last start at Milano but drawn nicely. Change in trainer. Should come to hand quickly. Very minor chance.

Odds of $18.00 and kept chasing when 4th last time here but facing a stronger class. Might be ridden for luck. Can't entertain a bet.

First up specialist. Gave them all something to chase when winning by a margin of 1 1/4L last time at Gulfstream Park and solid career start. Strong claims in this.

Odds of $7.50 and didn't threaten when 7th last start at this venue but will find this grade easier. Not at all out of this race.
