Aqueduct Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance
BURNING BRIDGES (8) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by a nose over 1006m at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf). Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Has a wide gate to overcome but he can go on with it. FUNNY FACTOR (5) finished third over 1609m in stakes class at Aqueduct Turf (Turf) at his most recent appearance on November 14. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. LIBERTY RISING (10) did little and finished 9 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1207m at Aqueduct last start after being in the firing line on the bend, a less impressive effort than his fourth at Aqueduct the run before. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. ON THE LEDGE (1) comes here off a break of eight months. Scored over 1207m at Aqueduct to launch the last campaign. Has a strong first-up record, scoring on two occasions from three starts. Worth plenty of thought. Something for the Multiples: CERRO RICO (9)

Second-up favourite; won by a nose at Gulfstream Park Turf March 19 over 1006m defeating Jubilee Parade carrying 55.5kg at $3. Key chance likely to give a big sight.
