Saratoga Race 8 - Coronation Cup S. Stakes
CY FAIR (2) is a multiple winner who is yet to miss the frame in six starts. Is at the races for the first time since she was successful over 1106m at Churchill Downs Turf on April 30. Good record at this journey with four wins and two minor placings from six starts and should be hard to stop. SAPPHIRE BEACH (3) scored last start at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf) over this distance after she was in contention on the corner. Has a very good record over today's journey with two wins from three starts. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Expected to be in the finish. HOT CURRENCY (8) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 1.3 lengths away in second over 1408m in Listed grade at Saratoga (Dirt). Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is capable of testing her rivals. CADENZA (4) dug deep to score two runs back then was beaten 3 lengths into third over 1106m in the G3 Soaring Softly Stakes at this track (Turf) last time six weeks ago. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Must be respected. Something for the Multiples: HARK THEANGELSSING (5)

Comes off a 48 day let-up. Last start ran last of 7 at Churchill Downs Turf on May 31 over 1106m, 5.5 len behind Sapphire Beach carrying 55.5kg at $26.23. The run before that eased back early on 5th of 9 at Churchill Downs Turf in the G3 Mamzelle Stakes on April 30 over 1106m, 8 len behind Cy Fair with 53.5kg at $27.46. Will need plenty of improvement to feature.
