Aqueduct Race 9 - Race 9 - Claiming
SHELLAC (2) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when eighth over 1609m at Aqueduct Turf, beaten 20 lengths. Enjoys a drop in grade so he is a leading player. TAPWRITS TEMPER (10) finished one length away in fourth last time out over 1207m at this track after being in the firing line on the bend six weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Blinkers have been removed. Should be in the finish. RED MILLER (3) drifted well back last start then wound up strongly to finish fourth, beaten 3 lengths, over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Among the chances and will be tough to stop. CHARLIE CHARMER (5) comes here following a win over 1207m at this track four weeks ago, getting home by 0.1 lengths. Definite player.
