Aqueduct Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Special Weight
B THEDONALD (14) was on debut at this track (Dirt) last start where he made a sustained run and finished third, beaten one length, over 1207m. Will be better for that experience and should be in the finish again. HURRICANE KAZ (7) finished sixth two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1207m at this track, beaten only half a length after being in contention on the turn. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. BOUNTY BANKER (9) was solid on debut last start when beaten 1.1 lengths into fourth over 1207m at this track (Dirt) on January 3. Shapes as one to consider. PRIDE OF THE UNION (13) resumes from a spell of 11 weeks. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Can kick off with a bold showing.

Comes here off a 32-day let-up. At the latest run 2nd of 7 at this track on January 3 over 1207m, 0.5 len behind Royal Riddle carrying 55.5kg at $14.24. Before that crossed from a wide gate to lead but couldn't hold on when 6th of 14 at this track in LR on December 6 over 1408m, 13 len behind Sunday Boy with 53.5kg at $158.20. With a little improvement can take this out.
