Aqueduct Race 8 - Race 8 - Starter Optional Claiming
LUCKY DUDE (3) built on a nice second two starts back at Parx (Dirt) with success over 1609m at Parx (Dirt) four weeks ago, getting home by 2.5 lengths. K Carmouche scored on him last time and retains the mount. Finds an easier assignment and can go back-to-back. TIZMARKUS (6) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1710m at Oaklawn Park, beaten 3 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Faces an easier assignment so he is a major player. REGISTER (5) has switched yards since finishing fifth three weeks ago over 1609m at this track. Can measure up for the new barn. SHARP SPARK (1) was a winner on dirt over 1811m at this track two back but missed the frame on turf over 1609m at Aqueduct Turf last time. Record at this track is strong. Cannot be underestimated.

Last start second last of 8 at Aqueduct Turf on April 30 over 1609m, 13 len behind Ocean Atlantique with 56kg at $23.37. The race before that won by 2.5 len at this track April 16 over 1811m defeating Hey Toby with 56kg at $1.71. Better than that recent moderate performance suggests.

Recent form sound. Comes off a 47 day let-up. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at Tampa Bay Downs on April 8 over 1646m, 0.8 len behind Capitan Danny carrying 54kg at $15.20. Before that rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 8 at Tampa Bay Downs on March 15 over 1646m, nose behind Stone Cold Flex carrying 55.5kg at $1.80. Not far away last start. Big chance.

Returns from a 39-day let-up. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 9 at Oaklawn Park on April 16 over 1710m, 3 len behind Hess carrying 56kg at $6.50. The race before that 7th of 10 at Oaklawn Park on March 21 over 1106m, 8 len behind Gettinby carrying 56kg at $4.30. Good effort last start and can build on that performance.
