Aqueduct Race 7 - Race 7 - Starter Allowance
LUCKY DUDE (3) was successful last start over 1408m at this track (Dirt), getting home by 3 lengths to make it three wins on the trot. Taking on a better field but he is worth serious consideration. SHOOT THE NICKEL (10) got home by 0.1 lengths last time out over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Has three wins here. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Best figures should see him run well. PLAY (5) scored last start at this track (Dirt) to make it five wins and two placings from eight starts this campaign. Has a high cruising speed. One of the main contenders. FORGIVING SPIRIT (6) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 6 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Strips fitter and can turn things around.

Comes off a 52 day let-up. Most recently favourite; scored a big 4 len win at this track February 4 over 1207m defeating Emerald Forest with 55kg at $3.84. The start before that ran last in a small field at this track on January 9 over 1207m, 8 len behind Life And Light carrying 55kg at $6.60. This is going to test him.

Last start in a small field at Laurel on March 6 over 1207m, 12 len behind Bushido with 57kg at $2.60. Before that came from midfield and won by a nose at Penn National February 26 over 1207m defeating Brother Rice carrying 55kg at $1.80. Would rather see in something easier.

Racing well recently. Comes here off a 30-day let-up. Most recently won by a 0.1 len at this track February 26 over 1106m defeating Social Hour with 56kg at $6.51. The race before that 2nd of 8 at this track on February 19 over 1308m, 0.1 len behind Ten Cent Town with 56kg at $4.84. Ideally placed to make it two on the trot.
