Aqueduct Race 3 - Race 3 - Maiden Claiming
COPIOUS (8) did a good job when fresh from a break but found a couple better over 1609m at Aqueduct. Having his first run on a turf track. Fitter and the blinkers come off. Expected to be in the finish. UP FOR AN OSCAR (7) is a four-start maiden who finished seventh, beaten 6 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1609m at this track (Turf). Chance to break his maiden status with that run under his belt. FATEFUL LIGHTNING (3) got well back over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt) last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 7 lengths away in fourth. Perfectly placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. LANGUID (1) has started twice, missing the frame on debut then doing a better job to finish third last time, beaten 4 lengths over 1609m at this track (Turf). Well placed and can figure in the finish.
