Aqueduct Race 3 - Race 3 - Starter Optional Claiming
SHOOT THE NICKEL (5) Finished strongly when 3rd last run at Fair Grounds. Have to respect the recent stable form. Showing great form since resuming from a break. Fights on bravely so consider. EXECUTIVE ORDER (2) First up after a break. Folded up in the straight when 7th last run at Laurel Park. Happy to forgive that run. Can win this. TAPWRITS TEMPER (6) Finished amongst the placegetters when 2nd beaten by just short of 8L last start here. Worth consideration. GOOD QUESTION (4) Was eating up the ground late when winning last run at this venue and fitter for debut run. Expecting to settle positively. Include in chances.
