Aqueduct Race 9 - Race 9 - Maiden Claiming
ALZERO (7) has his first try on a turf track today. Finished third first-up at Aqueduct then was fourth and beaten 4 lengths over 1207m at Aqueduct last time. Should be at his top for this and is nearing a win. Stay with him. TWENTY ONE RED (10) was well fancied last start over 1408m at Aqueduct (Dirt) when second, beaten 5.5 lengths. Flavien Prat stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. Sure to run well. RYAN'S SHADOW (8) finished 14 lengths from the winner in seventh last time out over 1308m at Turfway Park (Synthetic) on February 28. Expecting to see him turn things around. OUT OF THE FOG (1) has been freshened up since he finished sixth over 1308m at Turfway Park (Synthetic) eight weeks ago. Anticipating a better run today. Something for the Multiples: RICHIES LOVE (14)
