Aqueduct Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Claiming
OLIGARCH (7) finished second last time out over 1207m at Aqueduct Turf (Turf), making it two career minor placings. Goes well here with two top-three finishes to his credit. Nicely placed and expected to go very well. HAFU (1) was narrowly beaten last start when second in a small field over 1207m at Aqueduct (Dirt) at the first run of the campaign. Will be fitter for that run, expect a strong run. TWO DUCKS (3) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest at Aqueduct Turf over 1207m. Expected to run well again. DAW SAMAA (4) finished 6 lengths away in fifth at his last appearance over 1710m at Aqueduct Turf (Turf) on June 11. No surprise if he figured in the finish.

Racing well recently. Returns from a 30-day let-up. Last start 3rd of 9 at Aqueduct Turf on May 22 over 1207m, 5 len behind Felonious carrying 55kg at $8.63. The run before that sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 7 at Aqueduct Turf on May 1 over 1207m, 1.75 len behind Hard Circle carrying 55kg at $5.95. This is well within his grasp.
