Aqueduct Race 8 - Race 8 - Starter Optional Claiming
BRIGADE COMMANDER (4) battled on well to hold second last start over 1710m at this track (Turf), beaten 0.8 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. MR FLOWERS (10) opened this prep last start with a second, beaten 2.25 lengths, over 1710m at this track. Has a decent record at this circuit with a win and two minor placings from three starts. Sure to prove tough to beat. COGNOSCENTI (6) had a bit on his rivals when resuming last time out, scoring an impressive 5 lengths maiden win over 1710m at this track (Turf). Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Re-unites with I Ortiz Jr who was on board last start. This is tougher but he cannot be underestimated. WILLINTORISKITALL (9) finished eighth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1710m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
