Aqueduct Race 4 - Race 4 - Allowance Optional Claiming
MERICA'S BACK (6) registered a strong win at this track two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when in the firing line on the bend before finishing second over 1308m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. WHAT'S UP BRO (7) is having his first run since winning by 0.8 lengths three weeks ago over 1308m at this track. Has transferred to the Richard E Dutrow stable over the break. Leading hope who should be tough to stop. Solid top-three chance for the new barn. THREE B'S (2) turned in a sub-par run last time out over 1609m at this track (Dirt) after a nice win the start prior. Nicely placed to bounce back. BEARY FUNNY (4) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 2.5 lengths away in third over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Well placed and will be thereabouts again.
