Aqueduct Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming
SOUNDBITE (7) is back from a spell of four-and-a-half months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1609m at Saratoga (Dirt). Sure to go well. KHALI MAGIC (8) finished sixth over 1308m at this track (Dirt) last time out following a determined win two runs back. Record at this journey is strong with five wins from 14 runs and looks a top chance. MURSAL (2) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 1.5 lengths at this track (Dirt). Has four wins here. Jose Lezcano who has two wins when partnering stays on. Has claims on her best figures. SAILAWAY (5) finished second two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by half a length over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Looks well placed so expect another big run.

Comes off a 60 day let-up. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 at this track on December 13 over 1609m, 7 len behind Collect The Data with 56kg at $36.29. The start before that 4th in a small field at this track on November 20 over 1811m, 6 len behind Pens Street with 56kg at $5.82. Will jump at pretty long odds and deservedly so.

Has won previously first-up and resumes here after a break of four-and-a-half months. Finished off last preparation second in a small field at this track October 3 over 1609m, 3.5 len behind Sweetest Princess carrying 56kg at $2. Previous preparation first-up won by 2 len Saratoga July 31 over 1609m defeating Broadway Lights carrying 56.5kg at $7.40. Should be right in the finish.
