Aqueduct Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
FATEFUL LIGHTNING (4) finished a 7 length fourth on dirt at this track two back then followed up with a minor placing on turf at Aqueduct Turf over 1710m a month ago. Has managed three minor placings from four runs at this circuit. Among the leading chances. COLLADO HUECO (1) is a three-year-old colt facing the starter for the first time. Out of Group 1 winner Dunbar Road. Is a leading contender. ASKED AND ANSWERED (8) finished a 6 length eighth in the G3 Pennine Ridge Stakes at Saratoga Inner Turf (Turf) last time but will strip fitter for this. Best figure would see him run well. MO THE MERRIER (6) has not been to the races since he finished second on debut over 1207m at Fairgrounds on March 21. Big run is likely.

Comes off a 33 day let-up. At the latest run 3rd of 7 at Aqueduct Turf on May 17 over 1710m, 3.5 len behind Chips And Fish carrying 54.5kg at $5.83.
