Aqueduct Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming
CONFABULATION (2) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fourth, beaten 12 lengths, over 1811m at this track (Dirt). Likely to measure up. HE'S GOT THIS (3) finished 4 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1609m at this track five weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Solid winning chance. FIRST TRUMPET (1) will find this a little easier than his last run just eight days ago when sixth over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Likely improver with top-three prospects. TEXAS RED HOT (5) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1811m at Oaklawn Park, beaten 6 lengths into seventh. Nicely placed to find some form.
