Aqueduct Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Claiming
ARISTIDE MAILLOL (3) is a three-start maiden who finished sixth at his most recent appearance over 1207m at Aqueduct Inner Turf (Turf). Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. SOLO JIM (7) resumes from a spell of six months. Could only manage to finish eighth at the latest run over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Good chance to break through. BOOM SHOCKA BOOM (1) is a first-starter by Violence from Boom Boom Vroom who has been a most successful broodmare. A product of the strong juvenile stable of W A Ward. Importantly has a nice gate and should be in the finish. SANFORD ROUTE (6) is a three-year-old gelding on debut from the stable of David P Duggan. By Tacitus from Harlan Light. Top-three chance.

Four-year-old gelding (Violence - Boom Boom Vroom) at the races for the first time. Worth considering if there is a move for him.
