Aqueduct Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
SHELLAC (13) is an honest type who impressed last time, scoring by 6 lengths over 1308m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Should camp just off the leaders. Will give a great sight. MOMENT'S NOTICE (14) is overdue for a win with three placings from three starts this campaign, the latest effort a second over 1408m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Looks a solid top-three prospect. CALLING CARD (15) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then was beaten 1.75 lengths when fifth over 1609m at Aqueduct five weeks ago. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. KULAPAT (7) finished second over 1609m at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf) at his most recent appearance on December 18. Has switched to the M J Maker yard. Among the better hopes.
