Aqueduct Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming
SALMING (1) resumed last time out and finished third over 1609m at this track, beaten 14 lengths. This looks an ideal assignment. RED MILLER (7) was highly fancied when he resumed two weeks ago over 1207m at this track and was only beaten 2 lengths into fifth. Strips fitter and can feature. THORSNESS (3) has been in good form, scoring three back at this track (Dirt) then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing second when he was prominent throughout over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. NOGUCHI (8) pushed forward and was a determined winner by 2.5 lengths over 1609m at this track (Dirt) last time out. Can sneak into the finish again.

Second run back. First-up after two months second last in a small field at this track on May 2 over 1609m, 3 len behind Natural Hunk carrying 57kg at $4.50. Previously second-up 5th of 8 at this track on January 16 over 1609m, 4 len behind Kavanaugh carrying 56kg at $9.85. Unlikely to threaten.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 37 day let-up. At the latest run came from midfield and won by 2.5 len at this track April 16 over 1609m defeating Admiral Indy carrying 54kg at $3.83. The race before that 4th in a small field at this track on April 2 over 1609m, 2.5 len behind Good Cop carrying 57kg at $3.28. Big chance again now that the penny has dropped.
