Aqueduct Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Claiming
SO SPIRITED (6) finished third, beaten 2 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1308m at this track (Dirt) after he was in contention on the bend. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. KILLYBEGS KID (2) could only manage sixth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1207m at this track, beaten 6 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. WINEGOLD (5) returned last time with a solid second at this track (Dirt) over 1308m after being in contention on the turn. Ready to go one better. THE HERO CODE (7) was never in contention last time over 1308m at this track (Dirt) when he finished fourth, beaten 5 lengths. Well placed on this occasion and is a likely improver.

Third race start. First start settled back and ran on when 5th of 10 at this track on March 22 2025 over 1308m, 20 len behind Tarpaulin carrying 54.5kg at $8.60. Went for a spell before returning 3rd in a small field at this track on March 15 over 1308m, 2 len behind Monte Avi carrying 57kg at $2.62. Improver with winning prospects.
