Aqueduct Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Optional Claiming
GRUMBLYRUMHOGAN (5) could only manage eighth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1609m at this track, beaten only 1.3 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SWISS ARMY KNIFE (3) was always well back over this course and distance last time and never threatened in the straight, beaten 13 lengths into fourth. Has the talent to take care of this field. SOUTHEASTERN (2) returned last time with a solid third at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 1308m. Nicely placed to take this out. STATE OF ATTACK (1) has not raced since his debut on October 11 over 1308m at Keeneland (Dirt) when he finished seventh, beaten 14 lengths. Blinkers added; one of the better hopes. Something for the Multiples: TIGER ROCKET (4)
