BLAME THE BANKER (2) finished fourth two runs back at Aqueduct Inner Turf (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 1. 75 lengths as public elect after being in the firing line on the bend over 1m at this track (Turf). Finds a suitable race and can play a major role again. AZAMI (5) is racing well. Scored at Penn National (Dirt) in a then finished second, beaten half a length, over 1m1/4f at Penn National (Dirt) at the latest appearance four weeks ago. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Will prove tough to beat. WHISKEY LULLABY (6) comes here off a break of ten months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 5f at this track. Among the better hopes. QUERCUS (7) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at Penn National (Dirt), most recently beaten 4. 5 lengths into second over 6f at Penn National (Dirt). Likely to be about the mark again.
