Aqueduct Race 2 - Busher S. Stakes
INTERSTATELOVESONG (5) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1408m in stakes class at this track (Dirt). Taking on a better line-up this time but she is up to the challenge. PARADISE (3) displayed plenty of early toe and kicked strongly to score over 1609m at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) last time. Has to carry more weight this time but should prove tough to beat. NYCON (1) was only 0.3 lengths from the winner in second last time out in a small field over 1609m in Listed grade at Gulfstream Park (Dirt). Jaime A Torres sticks. Certainly one to consider. BLAZING BRAT (4) resumes today after filling a minor placing at her only appearance last prep at Listed level at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt) over 1207m on December 6. Lining up today for the first time for trainer D Whitworth Beckman. Has a high cruising speed. Don't underestimate.

Was well-supported at debut, won favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 1.75 len at Tampa Bay Downs January 31 over 1308m defeating Sorokin carrying 54kg at $3. Great effort on debut and is capable of keeping the ball rolling.

Dual acceptor. Resuming. Finished off last campaign raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 at Tampa Bay Downs in LR on December 6 over 1207m, 2.75 len behind Sneaky Good carrying 55kg at $25. First up last campaign 3rd in a small field at Presque Isle Downs on July 4 over 1006m, 4.5 len behind Strike D' Oro with 54.5kg at $13.40. Will take a lot from this run but stays under notice.
