Aqueduct Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
SEQUENTIAL (9) scored by 0.3 lengths last start over this journey at this track (Dirt). Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and three placings. Expected to measure up. AMBRIDGE (2) returned from a spell five-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 6 lengths into fifth over 1609m at this track. Ideally placed and is sure to make amends. MAGNANIMOUS MAX (1) landed his maiden success over this course and distance last time, scoring by 3 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Has the inside gate and he cannot be discounted. AMBITION (6) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1811m at this track, beaten 17 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects. Something for the Multiples: EGYPTIAN (4)
