Aqueduct Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
VALENTINIAN (10) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance at Aqueduct (Dirt) over 2012m on March 7. Has ability and should be right in the finish. ROYAL BROWNE (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at Aqueduct, beaten 14 lengths. Beautifully placed and is sure to make amends. TAKE A STANCE (2) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when fourth over 1710m at this track (Turf) after he was in the firing line on the corner. Has further improvement to come and is ready to show what he can do. RULES OF THE ROAD (6) has switched yards since scoring by a nose at this track over 1710m on May 7. Can make his presence felt. Something for the Multiples: KHETAM (8)

Second-up. Comes off a 38-day let-up. First-up after two months won by a nose at this track May 7 over 1710m defeating Chips And Fish with 54.5kg at $3.35. Previously second-up ran second last of 10 at Gulfstream Park Turf on January 2 over 1609m, 7 len behind Immortalised carrying 55.5kg at $22. Fitter and worth including.
