BLAME IT ON EDDIE (2) returns from a break of ten weeks. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a second over 6f at Mountaineer Park. Rates highly and a bold showing is expected. Group 1 placegetter SIR SAHIB (1) made progress last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1m at Penn National after being in contention on the bend. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. SUDDEN SHIFT (7) finished second last time out over this course and distance, travelling towards the tail before winding up strongly in the dying stages. Yet to miss the frame from nine starts at this journey, including four wins and shapes as a key runner. ICE BLAST (3) has switched yards since finishing fifth three weeks ago over 1m1/4f at this track.
