Aqueduct Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming
IGNITE THE LIGHT (1) pushed forward and led throughout to score a 7 length win over 1408m at this track (Dirt) last time. Positive ride expected again and expected to go very well. BOURBON DAY (2) pushed forward and went on to record a determined win when resuming last start by 4 lengths over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. LIGHT THE WAY (7) finished 4 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1408m at this track after being in contention on the bend six weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Winning claims on best figures. RIDGEWOOD RUNNER (3) is back at the races for the first time since January 15. Scored over 1609m at this track at the start of last prep. Has a strong first-up record, scoring on two occasions from three starts. Worth plenty of thought. Something for the Multiples: BARTLETT (5) BRAMITO (6)
