Aqueduct Race 8 - Race 8 - Starter Optional Claiming
CARC BROTHERS (4) is a talented type who returned from a break last start and made it two wins from as many starts, scoring by 6 lengths over 1710m at Aqueduct Turf. Comfortable winner last time and can measure up again. OUTSOURCE (6) finished 4 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1710m at Aqueduct Turf five-and-a-half weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Settles back early but winds up late. Will be tough to hold out. EGYPTIAN (12) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second at Aqueduct (Dirt) two starts back then landed the prize by 0.3 lengths as public elect last time out over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt). It doesn't get any easier but on current form he is one of the key runners. INTO THE LIGHT (13) registered his first win last start over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt), getting home by half a length. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Tougher task this time but expected to be competitive again. Something for the Multiples: HARD CIRCLE (3) DREAMS OF ROME (10)

Second-up. Promising on debut came from midfield and won by 3.5 len at Fairgrounds Turf January 4 over 1710m defeating Denizen carrying 56kg at $18.80. Returned from break won by 6 len at Aqueduct Turf May 23 over 1710m defeating Middle Market carrying 57kg at $3.25. Hard to tip against him on that sort of form. Improver with winning prospects.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, ran second last in a small field at Laurel on April 24 over 1609m, 20 len behind Sir George with 56kg at $12.70. Second-up raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.8 len at Aqueduct Turf May 17 over 1710m defeating Big Frosty with 54.5kg at $5.23. Hard to imagine a top-three finish.
