Saratoga Race 5

Starter Optional Claiming

Stake: -

RAMAJAY (4) Racing fresh after a break. Displayed a good turn of foot when winning last time at Gulfstream Park but matched against a stronger field. Right in the thick of it and is a major player. MR. HOOLIGAN (2) Controlled the pace when winning by a margin of 1L last start at Presque Isle Downs and has a good draw. Should race on the speed. Respect in this event. SHARONS BEACH (6) Came on strongly to finish 2nd last time at Horseshoe Indianapolis but competing at a higher class. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Up to these. UNAUTHORIZED (8) First up. Had a comfortable win by 3 1/2L last start at Oaklawn Park and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Finishes off strongly. Can take this out.

At $9.50 passed some rivals in the late stages when 4th last run at Ellis Park and competing in a lower grade. Has a nice turn of foot. Looking to place betting and exotics.

Gave them all something to chase when winning by 1L last start at Presque Isle Downs and will try to take advantage of the barrier. Shows good early pace. One of the punters top hopes at a very generous price.

First up from a break. Dashed home to win last time at Gulfstream Park but facing a stronger grade. Should jump out and bowl along. Tough competitor.
