Aqueduct Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
GUNNER BAY (1) met with solid support last start over 1408m at this track (Dirt) when fourth, beaten 5 lengths. Good record at this journey with four wins and five minor placings from 10 starts and should be hard to stop. SCHLOMO (7) returns from a break of ten months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a second over 1207m at Saratoga. Nicely placed to kick off another successful campaign. EPITAPH (2) finished fourth when first-up from a spell last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after racing on the pace for much of the way. Must be included among the main hopes. NANTZ (4) led throughout last start to score an effortless 2.75 lengths win over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Ricardo Santana Jr who has two wins when partnering stays on. Deserves respect.
