Aqueduct Race 6 - Race 6 - Allowance Optional Claiming
SACROSANCT (4) won first up at this track then finished second last time out over 1308m at this track (Dirt), beaten half a length. Improvement in store so he looks very hard to beat. GUNMETAL (1) comes here off a break of eight months. Scored over 1207m at Keeneland to launch the last campaign. Boasts an unbeaten first-up record from two runs. Rates highly and should take some beating. VIBRANT EXPRESS (6) scored last start at this track (Dirt) to make it five wins from five starts this campaign. Has an impressive strike rate at this distance with three wins from four runs and has winning claims on best figures. FIRE PIT (3) lines up for the first time since November 24. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1006m at Laurel. Has found the right race and is worth including.
