Aqueduct Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming

THORSNESS (6) turned in a fine effort to win by 0.3 lengths at today's course and distance last start in a much improved run. Has the ability to take care of this field. NATURAL HUNK (4) scored by 2.75 lengths last start over this journey at this track (Dirt). Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and a placing. Leading player. DAYTONA MOONSHINE (5) broke through for his maiden win over 1811m at this track (Dirt) last time. Looks well placed and he is one of the main chances. GRAND COMMANDER (2) produced a good run two starts back to finish third but failed to live up to market expectations last time when out of the placings at this track (Dirt) over 1609m after he had travelled in a rearwards position. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 31-day let-up. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 2.75 len at this track March 12 over 1609m defeating Noguchi with 57kg at $3.95. The start before that 3rd of 7 at this track on February 13 over 1609m, 4 len behind Come To Papa carrying 55.5kg at $24.44. Big chance again now that the penny has dropped.
