Aqueduct Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
VALENZAN DAY (2) Stormed home to win last time here and suited at this distance in the past. Has shown early pace in races to date. First appearance for a new trainer. Respect in this company. EMPTY TOMB (5) Faded away to finish 6th last time at this venue. Capable of a strong comeback. Coming to a new trainer. Should come to hand quickly. Winning hope. ICE ROAD (3) Didn't find the line when 5th last time at this venue. Can show a better performance this time. Performing honestly since returning from a break. Expected to be flashing home. Solid place bet prospects. CATCH THE SMOKE (1) Crept into 5th last time here and drawn beautifully. At least a place chance.
