Aqueduct Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Claiming
MO CURLS (9) got a long way back when 19 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1609m at Aqueduct last start, a less impressive effort than his fifth at Aqueduct Inner Turf the run before. Perfectly placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. SICILIAN DANCER (4) turned in a nice effort last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just 1.3 lengths from the winner in third over 1710m at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. BLUE PILL (7) finished out of the money but was not too far away when resuming last start over 1710m at this track (Turf). Can go on with it. ROYAL ASCENDSHIN (6) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1710m at this track (Turf), finishing second and beaten 1.3 lengths. Can figure in the finish.
