Parx Racing Race 2 - 6 1/2F Stakes
BRAVE BLEND (1) faded last time to finish fourth over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt) after showing good early speed. Sure to prove tough to rein in. SAINT EPHREM (7) is a boom four-year-old gelding yet to taste defeat in two runs, the most recent win by 2 lengths over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Had plenty in hand last time and looks the testing material again. KEEPING THE FAITH (5) was an effortless winner last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt), scoring by 6 lengths. Sure to be competitive again. CAP STEAK ROBBERY (4) built on a nice second two starts back at this track (Dirt) with a win over 1308m at this track (Dirt) eight weeks ago, getting home by 1.5 lengths. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.

The race before that 3rd in a small field at this track on January 22 over 1207m, 5 len behind Adios Jersey with 55.5kg at $7.10. Doesn't look good enough to threaten the top few.

Yet to taste defeat in two starts. When well in the market on debut, favourite; scored a big 4 len win at this track December 29 over 1207m defeating Pastero carrying 55.5kg at $4. Last time out favourite; won by 2 len at this track February 10 over 1308m defeating Vix with 56.5kg at $2.50. Hard to beat on current form.
