Aqueduct Race 7 - Race 7 - Starter Allowance
MAD BANKER (8) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1811m at Parx (Dirt) after being in the firing line all the way. Should race just off the speed despite the wide draw. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to take this out. MO FOR THE KING (7) went forward last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt) and held on well for second, beaten a nose. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is up to the challenge. JOE WEST (3) went forward last time and battled on gamely to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 1710m at Woodbine. Looks well placed so expect another bold performance. MO KREESA (6) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 7 lengths away in seventh over 1710m at this track. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
