Saratoga Race 9 - Race 9 - Starter Optional Claiming
LIGHT FANTASTIC (2) Made all when winning by a margin of 4L last run at the track and putting a tidy record together. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Can win this. ESCAPADES (4) Was much too speedy in front when winning by a margin of almost 7L last time at this venue and good career start. First race for a new trainer. Can have an impact. SEA VISTA (5) Honest race when 2nd last start here but back to a shorter distance. Will be trying to topple them late. Up in class. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. ABRIGADO (1) Weakened under pressure when 5th last run here but will appreciate a good draw. Racing for a new trainer but up against a higher level of opposition. Dropping in distance. In the mix.

Jumped at $4.50 and looked outclassed when 5th last run here but has a nice advantage with a good draw. First start for a new trainer but down in trip. Good enough chance at a very tempting price.

Made every post a winner when winning by a margin of 4L last run here and solid career start. Should muster plenty of early speed. Should go well.

Led throughout to win by a margin of close to 7L last time at the track and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Coming to a new trainer. Tough competitor.

Nice run when 2nd last start here but up against stronger rivals. Will be hitting the line strongly. Dropping back to a shorter trip. Can measure up against these.

Was $11.00 and finished 6th last start at this venue and facing a stronger group of contenders. Has some claims.

Started $11.00 and was well beaten when 9th last run at the track and challenged by more formidable competitors. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Place claims at best.

Finished strongly when 3rd beaten by 2L last run at this track but facing stiffer opposition. Junior Alvarado and Danny Gargan are a proven combination. Will be motoring home late. Respect the betting.
