Saratoga Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance Optional Claiming
WITH A KISS (5) Resumes after a spell of 45 weeks. Was a comprehensive winner by 4L last time at Aqueduct and having second race start. Looks promising in this race. LOVELY CHRISTINA (7) Didn't threaten when 8th last time at this track. Expecting improvement and will find this grade more suitable. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Must be considered. NEXT ON STAGE (4) Looked good when 3rd last run around here. Have to respect the recent Linda Rice form. Displaying good ability this preparation. Serious player. ROMAN GRACE (1) First up and although getting tired late still placed 3rd first up last preparation at Aqueduct. Recent form of Linda Rice is strong and matched against less formidable competition. Big danger.

First up and although fading at the finish still grabbed 3rd beaten by nearly 8L first up last preparation at Aqueduct. Have to respect the recent stable form. Expect a forward showing.

Odds of $18.00 and lacked competitiveness when 6th last time at this venue but competing at a lower level of competition. Prefers to settle towards the tail. Hard to see it being competitive today.

Was $5.00 and struggled with the pace when 8th last time at this track. Expecting improvement and going down in class. Should come to hand quickly. Good potential.
