Aqueduct Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Claiming
CHARLIE CHARMER (8) did a good job last start to finish second at this track (Dirt) over 1207m, beaten a nose. Cherry-ripe now. Ready to win. BOOTSY'S A RASCAL (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was never in contention over 1408m at this track, beaten 20 lengths into eighth. This doesn't look as hard so he is set to turn things around. LOUGH CURRANE (3) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track (Dirt) over 1408m. Likely to play a major role. HAFU (2) resumes from a spell of seven months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1207m at Keeneland (Dirt). Rates highly on best form and a bright return wouldn't surprise.

Comes here off a 43-day let-up. Most recently tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 7 at this track on April 10 over 1207m, nose behind So Spirited carrying 54.5kg at $8.01. The race before that 8th of 10 at this track on March 5 over 1207m, 10 len behind Manhattan Chrome carrying 55.5kg at $35.46. Working up to a win. Worth following.
