Aqueduct Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance Optional Claiming
CREDITWORTHY (4) opened this campaign last start with a third, beaten 0.2 lengths, over 1106m at Keeneland. Ticks all the right boxes. AFTER TAXES (6) improved last start to finish third over 1106m at Churchill Downs after being prominent at the turn. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. CIGARETTE BOAT (3) dug deep to score two back then was beaten 1.5 lengths into fourth over 1207m at this track (Turf) last time six weeks ago. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. One of the main contenders. ANTONIO OF VENICE (8) is a talented four-year-old being tested on a turf track for the first time today on his return from a break. Resumed last campaign with a eighth in Listed grade at this track (Dirt) over 1408m. Should be poised just off the lead. Can feature in the finish. Something for the Multiples: CHARLIE'S EXPRESS (7) SPUN AND WON (10)
