Aqueduct Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Claiming
MO CURLS (5) finished 19 lengths adrift in sixth last time at this track (Dirt) in a disappointing performance. Has the ability to return to form. INONIT (6) was prominent from the outset and fought on for second last start over 1408m at this track (Dirt), making it three minor placings in a row. Nicely placed to take this out. ZEUS LIGHTNING (3) finished a 9 length fourth first up two runs back on a dirt track at Tampa Bay Downs over 1408m. Followed that up with an unplaced effort on turf at Saratoga Turf over 1710m. Major player back on the dirt. ALWAYS HONEST (7) did very well to fill a minor placing when resuming at this track but raced below expectations last time over 1609m at this track (Dirt), finishing sixth and beaten 10 lengths. Nicely placed to bounce back.
