Aqueduct Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Claiming
COME TO PAPA (7) made progress last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1609m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Has the class to produce another positive result. FREEDOM MAKER (6) is a 15-start maiden finding it tough to win but has been in the placings at his last two runs, finishing second most recently over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Blinkers applied so a bold showing is anticipated. NOGUCHI (3) is yet to break through after six starts. Placed two back then last time out was fourth, beaten 15 lengths, over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Settles off the speed. Suited here and can feature with even luck. DOWN THE LINE (2) produced another moderate effort last start when 4 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1609m at this track. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
