Aqueduct Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance
BOLD STRENGTH (6) landed his maiden success over this course and distance last time, scoring by 1.5 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Looks well placed and a bold showing is expected. SHADOW BANKING (5) was quickly into stride and went on to score by 3 lengths when resuming last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. RANGER BATTALION (2) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 2.75 lengths back in fourth over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Among the chances. BRAZENLY (3) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time out over 1609m at this track (Dirt), finishing second and beaten one length. Sure to be thereabouts. Something for the Multiples: TIGER TWENTY FOUR (7)

Comes here off a 42-day let-up. Most recently 7th of 9 at this track on January 3 over 1609m, 10 len behind Russian Realm carrying 56kg at $12.49.

Second-up. Comes off a 43-day let-up. First-up after six months came from midfield and won by 3 len at this track January 2 over 1207m defeating Roger Roger with 55.5kg at $4.75. Previously second-up 7th of 9 at Saratoga on July 4 over 1308m, 14 len behind Fort Nelson with 54kg at $4.40. The one to beat based on that latest effort. Improver with winning prospects.
