Aqueduct Race 9 - Race 9 - Allowance Optional Claiming
LOTSA TROUBLE (6) has been racing in great heart with three top-three finishes on end, the latest a third over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Manuel Franco gets the best out of this five-year-old gelding. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. CONCORDE SPIRIT (4) returns after a spell of ten weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1207m at this track. Sure to make his presence felt. EZ ROLL (5) was an impressive winner last time over 1811m at this track (Dirt), scoring by 5 lengths to make it two on the bounce. Has a strong record at this course, scoring two times from four starts. Should be involved in the finish. THREE B'S (7) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when tenth, beaten 16 lengths, at this track (Dirt) over 1408m. Well placed and should be thereabouts.

Returns from a 37-day let-up. Last start ran on from midfield and won by 0.8 len at this track April 9 over 1609m defeating Kavanaugh with 55kg at $14.47. The start before that ran last in a small field at this track on March 15 over 1609m, 7 len behind Commuted with 55kg at $6.61. Will struggle to compete against the top handful.

Third-up today. Resuming 3rd of 7 at this track on March 6 over 1811m, 0.6 len behind Shadow Dragon with 55kg at $14.29. Last start ran last of 9 at Aqueduct Turf on May 2 over 1710m, 13 len behind Sandborn with 57kg at $17. Hard to imagine a top-three finish.

Comes here off a 56-day let-up. At the latest run ran on from midfield and won by a nose at this track March 21 over 1609m defeating Corvus with 56kg at $4.94. Before that 5th of 7 at this track on February 4 over 1811m, 8 len behind Concorde Spirit with 56kg at $3.95. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.
