Aqueduct Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming

GUNNER BAY (1) is struggling to break through but has been around the mark lately, last start finishing fifth over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Record at this shorter journey is sound, including four wins. Top contender. LEADING ROLE (6) did a great job to score by 2.75 lengths over this course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. FUNNY UNCLE (3) improved last start when he worked home well to finish second over 1207m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. PANAGIOTIS (5) is fitter for two runs back from a spell, progressing nicely last time to finish third, beaten 5 lengths, at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. One of the better hopes.
