Aqueduct Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
GUNNER BAY (2) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a third over 1408m at this track (Dirt) when beaten 9 lengths. Should be poised just off the lead. Will give a great sight. MALDINI (5) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 0.3 lengths at this track (Dirt). Has raced three times here and has never missed the frame. Leading player again. PRINCIP (1) kept coming but just failed to pick up the winner when first-up last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Will take a lot from that hitout. In the right race and is sure to prove hard to beat. REGISTER (7) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 8 lengths into sixth. No surprise to see him in the mix.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Comes off a 42 day let-up. First-up ran last of 8 at this track on February 5 over 1408m, 26 len behind Spirit Dragon with 56kg at $15.56. Second run from a spell ran last in a small field at this track on February 26 over 1207m, 8 len behind New York Scrappy carrying 56kg at $7.77. Form doesn't read well but he is a genuine contender.
