Aqueduct Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
HARD TO SAY (1) has a moderate winning strike-rate but did a good job when returning from a break last time at this track (Dirt), finishing second and only 1.5 lengths from the winner at the end of 1207m after being prominent at the bend. Steps up a level but he is good enough to figure in the finish. REDACTED (4) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1308m at this track, beaten 8 lengths into fifth after being in contention on the corner. Has the talent to take care of this field. RED MILLER (5) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4.5 lengths when fifth in a 1207m contest at this track eight weeks ago after being prominent at the bend. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. MATH TUTOR (3) produced another moderate effort last start when 15 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1308m at this track. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
