SARATOGA BANKER (7) is a genuine type with four minor placings from five starts this prep. Continued the trend last time out when third over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Tackling a more suitable race so he is likely to play a big role. BUSTINO SANTINO (4) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by half a length over 5½f at this track (Dirt). That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three starts. Top chance again. NO CONFESSION (3) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a second over 6f at this track (Dirt) when beaten 3.5 lengths. Leading player on recent runs. INVALUABLE WILL (5) was beaten 2.25 lengths into fourth over 5½f at this track five-and-a-half weeks ago. Better than recent efforts suggest.
