Aqueduct Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Special Weight
COPIOUS (3) returns after a spell of ten weeks. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1609m at this track. Has switched to the Linda Rice stable. Expect him to play a major role. FATEFUL LIGHTNING (4) finished second last start when fresh from a spell over 1408m at this track (Dirt) to make it five minor placings from nine runs. Has been in the top-three at all three runs at this course. Great chance to break through. PAUILLAC (1) was solid on debut last start when beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth over 1609m at this track (Dirt) on February 21. Should be competitive. PRINT (5) is progressing well, last time out finishing second over 1609m at this track (Dirt) after being prominent at the bend. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role.

First-starter by Practical Joke out of Lake Falcon. Tough to line up. Betting the best pointer.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 50-day let-up. Last start raced on the pace when 2nd of 7 at this track on February 21 over 1609m, 0.1 len behind Tariff Mindset carrying 55.5kg at $31.07. The race before that 4th of 8 at this track on December 31 over 1811m, 8 len behind Ottinho carrying 54kg at $37.65. Has to be considered.
