Aqueduct Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming
CLASSICIST (7) was prominent at the bend and finished 9 lengths away from the winner in third last start in Listed grade at this track (Dirt) over 2012m Form over this journey is strong, boasting two wins from three starts. Blinkers come off now. Sure to go well. WAITLIST (1) defied a lack of market support last start, scoring by 1.5 lengths over 1811m at this track (Dirt). Rates highly on latest effort and can go on with it. LE GRIS (2) was on speed for much of the way over this course and distance last time but weakened late to finish fourth, beaten 11 lengths. Likely to feature. DREAMLIKE (4) closed off strongly last start to get up for second, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 1609m at this track. Has been in the top three at all 10 starts here, including two wins. Deserves respect.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 49-day let-up. Most recently won by 1.5 len at this track April 4 over 1811m defeating Founders carrying 57kg at $16.16. The start before that 2nd in a small field at this track on March 21 over 1609m, 5 len behind Emirates Road with 57kg at $4.53. Big chance to make it back-to-back successes.
