Aqueduct Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance Optional Claiming
DREAMLIKE (9) made a strong late bid only to just miss last start over 1811m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Ready to go one better. MUTAAWID (2) scored at this track (Turf) last time out with 0.3 lengths to spare over today's journey. Rates highly and can measure up. MAYOR OF MIDNIGHT (8) is resuming from a spell of seven months and having his first run for the Riley Mott yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at Tampa Bay Downs Turf (Turf) over 1710m. Can measure up at the first run for a new barn. END OF ROMANCE (3) turned in a nice run last time to finish third over 2213m at Churchill Downs Turf. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 8 at Keeneland Turf on April 23 over 1811m, 4.5 len behind Mesero with 53.5kg at $24.24. Last start 4th of 11 at Churchill Downs Turf on May 14 over 2213m, 4 len behind Soleil Volant carrying 55.5kg at $20.40. Racing okay but look elsewhere.
