Aqueduct Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance Optional Claiming
ARIZONA TERRITORY (5) recorded a strong maiden win over 1710m at Tampa Bay Downs Turf (Turf) last time, getting there by 3 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and a bold showing is expected. PRINT (1) was too good for a maiden field last start over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt), scoring by 5 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Re-unites with Ricardo Santana Jr who was on board last start. Big chance to go back-to-back. WOODS (3) got the job done in grand style last start, scoring by 0.1 lengths over this journey at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic) after stalking the lead. One of the main contenders. EXHIBITION ONLY (2) turned in another moderate effort last start when 33 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1710m at Keeneland. No surprise to see him in contention.

Raced two times to date. When well in the market at debut, settled back and ran on when 5th of 8 at Tampa Bay Downs Turf on February 15 over 1710m, 5 len behind Third Coast carrying 54kg at $3.50. Second-up scored a big 3 len win at Tampa Bay Downs Turf March 27 over 1710m defeating Ollie Luke Out carrying 54kg at $2.70. Should be right in the finish.
