Aqueduct Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming

GOLDEN PLATE (2) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1609m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. MILITARY ROAD (5) drops back in trip after he was well held last time in seventh over 1811m at this track (Dirt). Jamie Rodriguez sticks. Among the leading chances. EXPLORATION (3) is fitter for two runs back from a spell, progressing nicely last time to finish second, beaten 1.5 lengths, at this track (Dirt) over 1408m. Can go on to take this out. AWESOME EMPIRE (1) ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 1811m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
