Aqueduct Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Claiming
NOGUCHI (6) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1811m at this track after being in contention on the corner. Looks well placed so expect another big run. MAGNANIMOUS MAX (3) has been in the betting recently but hasn't managed to break through. Most recently finished fifth over 1308m at this track (Dirt), beaten 5 lengths. Capable enough so worth another chance. COME TO PAPA (4) failed to make an impression last time out, settling well back and finishing sixth over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Well placed in this line-up and is among the better chances. THORSNESS (1) made progress last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in third over 1609m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle.
