Saratoga Race 9 - Race 9 - Claiming
STORM THE STREETS (1) in strong form with two wins from six attempts this campaign. Won two starts back at Churchill Downs (Dirt) and was close again last time out. This is his optimum trip with two wins from four starts and is sure to run well. UNCLE JIM (6) kicked off this campaign with a win two runs ago. Not as effective last time out when sixth over 1408m at this track, beaten 17 lengths. Has the ability to produce another win. CONSIDER IT DONE (2) was safely held when eighth last time out over 1207m at this track, beaten 18 lengths. That followed a win at Aqueduct at the previous outing. This doesn't look as hard so he will prove hard to beat. AWESOME EMPIRE (3) tackled a dirt track for the first time last start when victorious over 1308m at this track, scoring by half a length. In winning form and has to be included again.
