Aqueduct Race 4 - Race 4 - Allowance Optional Claiming
BAM'S BLISS KISS (7) returns from a layoff of ten weeks. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1207m at Aqueduct. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with three minor placings. Rates highly and should take some beating. LES REYS (1) showed good early speed and raced on the pace when first-up after a spell last start before fading to finish fifth, beaten 2.25 lengths, over 1106m in Listed grade at Laurel Turf (Turf). Will be handy in the run and should prove hard to run down. MUNNINGS EXPRESS (6) was an impressive winner last time over 1408m at Aqueduct (Dirt), scoring by 4 lengths to make it three in a row. Has a high cruising speed. One of the main contenders. READY TO JAM (5) didn't threaten when resuming last start over 1106m in the G2 Intercontinental Stakes at Saratoga Turf (Turf), finishing eighth, beaten 5 lengths. Has a solid second up record. Can do better this time.

On a three run winning streak. Comes here off a 48-day let-up. Most recently ran on from midfield and scored a big 4 len win at Aqueduct May 8 over 1408m defeating Atarah with 56kg at $1.27. Before that won by 6 len at Aqueduct April 4 over 1207m defeating Intentious with 57kg at $1.58. Sure to be right there at the business end.
