Saratoga Race 4 - Race 4 - Allowance Optional Claiming
MARIA LOUISE (5) Rounded them up to win last run at this venue and having second race start. John R Velazquez and Todd A Pletcher must be respected together. Deserves consideration. DONOR ADVISED (7) Back after a 59 week break. Ran well when 3rd last run at this venue and facing less formidable opponents. Should muster plenty of early speed. Solid career start. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. RAGHBA (1) Was strong to the line when winning by a margin of almost 14L last time at Finger Lakes and has a nice advantage with a good draw. Among better hopes. FIRE MOON (3) Back after a break. Was well beaten when 8th last run at Keeneland. Has the potential to improve sharply and competing in a lower grade. Showing consistent performance in races. Can make a claim.

Started $18.00 and gave away some ground when 6th last run at this track but going down in class. Can find a nice position from the draw. Will need to lift.

Fresh today after a break. Started $5.50 and couldn't stay in touch when 8th last run at Keeneland. Has the potential to improve sharply. Will go close.

Odds of $16.00 and performed below standard when 7th last start at Ellis Park but honest performer putting a tidy record together. Competing at a higher class. Hard to have.

Fresh after a 59 week break. Competitive effort when 3rd last run here and facing a weaker grade. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Good career start. Solid chance.
