Aqueduct Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
MERCILESANIHILATOR (4) finished 3.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1207m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Should park just off the speed. Sure to be in the finish. KID RICH (1) was a most impressive winner last time over 1408m at this track (Dirt), scoring by 6 lengths. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Will prove tough to beat. RESIDE (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1308m at this track, beaten 15 lengths. Strips fitter and can take this out. NEVER SAY UNCLE (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1308m at this track, beaten 13 lengths into fourth. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.

Returns from a 31-day let-up. Last start second last in a small field at Parx in LR on March 3 over 1710m, 22 len behind Red Zone Runner carrying 55kg at $10.50. Before that scored a big 5 len win at Parx January 8 over 1609m defeating Twooutathreaintbad carrying 55kg at $2.90. Cannot be ruled out despite a lacklustre effort last time.
