Aqueduct Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming
PHILEAS FOGG (4) was well fancied when resuming last start over 1609m in stakes class at this track (Dirt) when third, beaten 25 lengths. Reunites with K Carmouche who has two wins from five rides. Will strip fitter and is one of the big chances. LE GRIS (3) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1811m at this track (Dirt). Great chance to take this out. OTELLO (5) is coming off a last-start fifth, beaten 15 lengths, over 2012m at this track. Has solid form at this track, winning two races from four starts. Capable of playing a big role. WHITTINGTON PARK (1) comes here off a last-start fourth, beaten 5 lengths, over 1811m at this track. Has solid form at this course with six wins and four minor placings from 19 starts. This sets up nicely.

Last start held ground to the line 2nd of 7 at Laurel in LR on April 4 over 1811m, 6 len behind Wild Vine with 54.5kg at $4.90. The run before that 2nd in a small field at Parx on March 12 over 1609m, 4 len behind Wild Vine with 56.5kg at $4.80. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.
