Aqueduct Race 4 - Race 4 - Maiden Special Weight
SILVER TALENT (1) was well in commission on his debut over 1308m at this track (Dirt) six-and-a-half weeks ago and finished fifth, beaten 11 lengths. Should progress this time and is expected to feature. DARK ASSAULT (3) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his only appearance last prep at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) over 1207m on February 28. Should be poised just off the lead. Leading contender. SORRENTINO (5) finished midfield on debut last time out, safely held 9 lengths from the winner over 1609m at Gulfstream Park (Dirt). Better for that experience and expected to be competitive. CHESS MATCH (4) finished 15 lengths away in sixth at his last appearance over 1308m at this track (Dirt) on May 7 after he got a long way back in the run. Among the better chances in what looks a nice race.

Was well-supported at debut, got back early 5th of 8 at this track on March 29 over 1308m, 11 len behind Pretty Boy Miah carrying 55.5kg at $2.78. Will have benefited from that outing and is likely to measure up.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 10 at Gulfstream Park on February 28 over 1207m, 3 len behind Lincoln's Law carrying 55.5kg at $6.50. First up last campaign second last of 8 at Saratoga on August 23 over 1207m, 12 len behind Big Dom with 54kg at $16.50. This is an ideal race to kick off. Top hope.

Third-up today. First-up second last in a small field at this track on April 11 over 1609m, 13 len behind Xcel with 54.5kg at $2.02. Last start second last of 7 at this track on May 7 over 1308m, 15 len behind White Smoke Rising with 55kg at $43.98. Can do a lot better than that last run.

Second-up. First start came home strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 7 at Saratoga on August 8 over 1207m, 14 len behind Napoleon Solo carrying 54kg at $18.20. Returned from break 5th of 7 at this track on March 20 over 1408m, 11 len behind First Blessing with 55.5kg at $8.59. Should progress from that first-up run.
