Aqueduct Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming
DONEGAL SURGES (4) turned in a good performance last time over 1609m at this track (Dirt), finishing 2.25 lengths from the winner in second after he was always up in the leading division. The extra journey should play into his hands. Will pay to follow up. FILM STAR (2) lines up on the back of a 39 length fifth over 1811m at this track. Has a win and three minor placings from six starts at this track and distance. Big run likely. DREAMLIKE (7) finished second two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 0.3 lengths over 1811m at this track (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again. CLASSICIST (5) was in great form at the end of the last campaign with back-to-back wins, the latest over 1811m at this track five months ago. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Deserves respect on best figures.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Freshened for 40 days. Resuming 3rd of 8 at Churchill Downs on November 12 over 1710m, 3 len behind Sir Greylind carrying 55kg at $6.73. Second run from a spell 5th of 7 at Turfway Park on December 26 over 1710m, 3 len behind Prince Of Power carrying 56kg at $4.54. Racing okay but look elsewhere.

Entire returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last campaign by 0.1 len this track September 13 over 1811m defeating Tuscan Gold carrying 54.5kg at $1.88. Previous preparation first-up won by 1.75 len Saratoga July 13 over 1811m defeating Chillax carrying 53.5kg at $3. Don't dismiss lightly.

Second run back. Comes off a 39-day let-up. First-up after 10 months eased back early on in a small field at this track in LR on December 27 over 1811m, 14 len behind Full Screen carrying 56kg at $5.85. Previously second-up won by 0.5 len at Ellis Park August 3 2024 over 1811m defeating Padiddle carrying 53.5kg at $2. Should progress from that first-up run.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 40 day let-up. At the latest run won by a 0.3 len at this track December 26 over 1811m defeating Double Your Money carrying 56kg at $5.16. Before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 11 at this track on December 6 over 1609m, 6 len behind Life And Times with 56kg at $7.34. Hard to beat again.
