Aqueduct Race 6 - Race 6 - Maiden Claiming
RICHIES LOVE (14) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1207m at Aqueduct Inner Turf (Dirt) after being prominent from the outset. Should race just off the speed despite the wide draw. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. BLUE PILL (8) returns after six months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a eighth over 1710m at Aqueduct Inner Turf (Turf). Has ability and is a solid chance. TWENTY ONE RED (10) was beaten 5.5 lengths into second at Aqueduct two starts ago then finished 3.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last time at Aqueduct Inner Turf (Dirt). Should be parked just off the speed. Solid top-three chance. NONNO JOE (7) returned from a spell two-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 5 lengths into sixth over 1710m at this track. Likely improver with top-three prospects.

Recent form sound. Most recently 4th of 9 at Aqueduct Inner Turf on April 26 over 1207m, 3.5 len behind Alzero with 54.5kg at $3.24. The race before that 2nd in a small field at Aqueduct on March 8 over 1408m, 5.5 len behind Gallant One carrying 55.5kg at $2.45. This is well within his grasp.
