Aqueduct Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Claiming
URGENCY (2) is yet to break through after six career starts. Managed to find the placings at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf) two starts back before finishing seventh over 1673m at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic) last start. Finds a nice race and gets the chance to break through. THUNDER ROLL (7) has not appeared since he finished seventh over 1207m at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt) on February 14. Has ability and should be right in the finish. FELONIOUS (9) is racing well including a last start fifth over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Among the leading chances. TWO DUCKS (4) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished third, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 1207m at Aqueduct Turf (Turf). In the right race and is a winning hope.

Third race start today. At very long odds at debut, 6th of 8 at Aqueduct on March 29 over 1308m, 15 len behind Pretty Boy Miah with 55.5kg at $61.45. Last start ran last of 7 at Aqueduct on April 25 over 1207m, 23 len behind Sea Strike carrying 55.5kg at $54.24. Can't make much of a case.
