Aqueduct Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming
VIBRANT EXPRESS (1) made it three wins in row last time, scoring by 1.75 lengths over 1408m here. Can continue to build on the strong recent form. SHERIFF BIANCO (3) lines up for the first time since November 22. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1609m at this track. Looks a winning chance. BEARY FUNNY (2) settled well back last start and never threatened when 9 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Yet to miss the frame in three starts over this course and distance. Worth noting Manuel Franco goes aboard. Nicely placed to turn things around. MASTER FREUD (6) is back at the races for the first time since December 10. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1207m at this track. Comes here with definite top-three claims.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 41-day let-up. At the latest run won by 1.75 len at this track January 3 over 1408m defeating Twohonestmischief with 56kg at $3.44. The run before that won by a 0.3 len at this track December 13 over 1207m defeating Social Hour carrying 54.5kg at $7.87. The inside gate is a real bonus.
