Aqueduct Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming

FINAL VERDICT (2) was always forward and boxed on to finish second over 1207m at this track (Turf) last time. Drawn to go forward. Among the leading chances. VIBRANT EXPRESS (9) is racing well. Scored at Aqueduct (Dirt) two back then finished second, beaten one length, over 1207m at Aqueduct (Dirt) at the latest appearance three weeks ago. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Leading contender. ANTISOCIAL (7) lines up for the first time since October 25. Looking to emulate his win at Aqueduct when returning from a spell last prep. Among the better hopes. COMMUTED (10) scored last start at Aqueduct (Dirt) to make it five wins from nine starts this campaign. Should be poised just off the lead. In the mix.
