Aqueduct Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
APALTA (4) turned in a fine effort to win by 3.5 lengths at today's course and distance last start which was an improvement on the first-up performance. Likely to be there at the finish again. LANDAUER (3) settled towards the back of the field last start and made little impact in the straight when sixth, beaten 8 lengths, over this journey at this track (Dirt). Finds a nice race and can get the job done. COME TO PAPA (6) is in great form lately, lifting strongly to score over 1811m at this track (Dirt) last time, making it two straight wins. Looks a top contender again. GOOD SKATE (2) returns from a spell of ten months and did win first-up last time in work over 1609m at this track (Dirt). One of the genuine hopes in the race. Something for the Multiples: MILITARY ROAD (1) INDY RAGS (5)
