BLACKFIN (3) resumed from a lay-off last start with a sound third over 1m1/2f at Aqueduct Inner Turf (Turf) after being in the firing line on the corner. Has the talent to get the prize. OLATZ (4) has been in the money five times including last start on July 17 when third over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf). Has been in the frame at both appearances at this circuit. Looks ready for that breakthrough win. RIVER EMPRESS (2) finished out of the money two starts back then she was always well out of her ground and was beaten 4. 5 lengths when sixth over 1m1/2f at Saratoga Turf five weeks ago. Has the ability to take this out. ALIBI (1) is back from a lay-off of six-and-a-half months. Closed last prep with a fourth, beaten 4 lengths, over 1m1/2f at Gulfstream Park All Weather. Profiles to run well.
