Saratoga Race 4 - Race 4 - Allowance Optional Claiming
SENZA PAROLE (3) Showed a good turn of foot when 2nd beaten by 1/2L last run at this venue but challenged by more formidable competitors. Flavien Prat is a bonus. Worth a bet. WITH THE ANGELS (4) Disappointing effort when 5th last run at the track. Can show a better performance this time and strong performer at this distance in the past. Matched against tougher rivals. One of the better chances. STRONG STATE (6) Stormed home to win last run at this venue but facing a stronger class. Has very good closing speed. Suitably placed in this race. BEYOND BELIEF (2) Folded up in the straight when 5th last run at this track but can find a nice position from the draw. Should come to hand quickly. One of the hopes.

Got going late when 5th last start at this track and competing at a lower grade. Likely to be well placed early. Ideal distance as proven previously. Drawn beautifully. Slim possibilty.

Was $12.00 and didn't threaten when 5th last run at this venue but has a positive draw. Should race on the speed. Competing in a higher grade. Some respect.

Caught the eye when 2nd last run around here but stepping up to a higher level. Been in the placegetters each start this campaign. Flavien Prat adds value. Will go close.

Started $5.00 and unsatisfactory performance when 5th last run at the track. Can show a better performance this time and have to respect the form at the distance. Great chance.

Rocketed home when winning last run here but up against tougher competition. Should get going late. Expect support.
