Saratoga Race 8 - Coronation Cup S. Stakes
CY FAIR (2) Back from a break. Ran on strongly to win last time at Churchill Downs and strong performer at the trip. Displays good tactical speed. Hard to dismiss. SAPPHIRE BEACH (3) Picked up nicely to win last run at Churchill Downs and showing improvement in recent outings. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Going well this preparation. Must be considered. HOT CURRENCY (8) Ran 2nd last time at this venue but facing stiffer opposition. Has early speed and positions nicely. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Looks to be value. CADENZA (4) Produced an eye catching run when 3rd beaten by 3 1/4L last time here but up against a more competitive field. Can give this a shake. Something for the Multiples: HARK THEANGELSSING (5)

Charged home to win last run at Churchill Downs but up in grade. Has plenty of early speed. Very competitive this campaign and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Capable type.

Finished amongst the placegetters when 3rd beaten by 3 1/4L last time at this venue but competing at a higher class. Follow the money.

Ran over the top of them when winning last run at Laurel Park and putting a tidy record together. Can go through the gears. Jaime Rodriguez is a pivotal booking. Keep safe.

At $28.00 unsatisfactory performance when 7th last time at Churchill Downs but hard to fault at the distance. Matched against tougher rivals. Prefer others.
