Saratoga Race 14

Allowance Optional Claiming

Prize Money: $171,073

TOP GUN ROCKET (14) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by one length over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt) as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins from four starts. Sure to go well again. WHITTINGTON PARK (16) turned things around last start and got the job done by 2.25 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Steps up a level but he is worth serious consideration. SMOOTH BREEZE (8) showed good speed over 1710m at Aqueduct (Turf) and led throughout to score. Can push forward again here and has sound claims on his best figures. TIZ DASHING (3) finished 1.0 lengths from the winner in sixth last time out over 1609m at Listed level at Aqueduct (Turf) on April 26. Among the chances.
