Aqueduct Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

TRUE CONNECTION (8) has switched yards since finishing fourth a month ago over 1609m at Saratoga. Makes plenty of appeal in the new surrounds. GOTTA GUY (3) has recorded two minor placings from three runs this campaign. Continued the trend last time out when runner-up over 1609m at Saratoga (Dirt). Has the ability to produce another positive result. ALWAYS BE SMART (2) has switched yards since finishing seventh a month ago over 1609m at Saratoga. Can make his presence felt. DOOMED (4) turned in another moderate effort last start when 4.5 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1811m at Saratoga at the second run back from a spell. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
