Aqueduct Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming

APALTA (3) started at $6.49 last time on the back of a win at this track (Dirt) two starts ago but was below his best, finishing fifth over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Has the talent to take care of this field. NATURAL HUNK (5) is a model of consistency with top-three finishes at his last five starts, most recently scoring over 1609m at this track. Winning claims yet again. SHIPSATIONAL (7) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track (Dirt), finishing third and only 0.6 lengths from the winner at the end of 1609m after being in contention on the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. AIRBORNE ELITE (1) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish 2 lengths back in third over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he deserves his chance.
