Aqueduct Race 9 - Race 9 - Claiming
EGYPTIAN (15) went forward over 1408m at Aqueduct (Dirt) last time and held on for second. Should settle on the speed despite the draw. Among the leading chances. ANTIETAM (13) has been freshened up since finishing seventh on April 3 over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Better than the last run suggests. MIDDLE MARKET (5) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 3.5 lengths when fifth in a 1710m contest at this track two weeks ago after being prominent at the bend. Beautifully placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. KID CAIRO (6) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1609m at Gulfstream Park Turf, beaten 4.5 lengths. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.
