Saratoga Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
INEXORABLE (12) changes rider since being well held last time in fifth over 1609m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) on June 10. Expected to bounce back. ICE CHOCOLAT (2) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 3.5 lengths away in third over 1509m at Woodbine. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Finds a suitable assignment and can run another big race. PRESIDER (6) finished out of the money two starts back then he was never in contention and was beaten 22 lengths when seventh in a 1811m contest at Aqueduct Turf a month ago. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. BEEF WINSLOW (4) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1609m at Churchill Downs Turf, beaten 3.5 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Fitter so can figure in the finish. Something for the Multiples: OCEAN ATLANTIQUE (10) SANTORINI (7) BELOUNI (3)

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 33-day let-up. Last start 3rd of 7 at Aqueduct Turf on June 14 over 1811m, 5.5 len behind Paros with 56kg at $2.25. The race before that favourite; won by a 0.3 len at Aqueduct Turf April 30 over 1609m defeating Belouni with 56kg at $3.80. Everything points towards a big run.
