Aqueduct Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming
DEREK'S LAW (4) returns after a spell of 12 weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1609m at this track. Expect him to play a major role. AIRBORNE ELITE (2) was thereabouts last time out when second at this track (Dirt) over 1609m, beaten 1.5 lengths. Won't mind coming back in distance. Major player. PANAGIOTIS (1) has been thereabouts without winning, the most recent effort a second at this track (Dirt) over 1408m when he was beaten 1.75 lengths. Overdue and is right in contention. TARPAULIN (6) returns from a spell of nine weeks and did score first-up when last in work at this track (Dirt) over 1308m. Lines up for the first time for the Linda Rice stable.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 29-day let-up. Last start 2nd in a small field at this track on February 21 over 1408m, 1.75 len behind Last Man Standing with 56kg at $5.50. The race before that settled back and ran on when 4th of 7 at this track on January 15 over 1308m, 4 len behind Capt Jax Parrow with 56kg at $6.90. Nice effort last time so worth following up.
