Aqueduct Race 1 - Race 1 - Allowance Optional Claiming
BLUE FORTY TWO (3) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish third, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 1207m at Listed level at this track (Dirt). Will be tough to hold out. SCHOOLYARDSUPERMAN (4) is a talented colt who was tested in tougher class last time when fourth over 1811m in stakes class at this track (Dirt). Should be poised just off the lead. Expecting a bold showing. HEDGE RATIO (5) was well in the market first up from a spell last start over 1408m at this track (Dirt) but was safely held in fourth, beaten 13 lengths. Shapes as one to consider. EPIC SUMMER (1) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1408m at Gulfstream Park, beaten 12 lengths into fifth. Suitably placed so can turn things around.

Recent form sound. Comes off a 51 day let-up. Most recently sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 7 at this track in LR on February 6 over 1811m, 12 len behind Talk To Me Jimmy with 56kg at $2.51. The race before that won by 6 len at this track December 6 over 1609m defeating Buntus Foclora carrying 54kg at $4.61. Deserves another chance.
