Aqueduct Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Claiming
NOGUCHI (2) finished second last time out over 1609m at this track (Dirt), making it two career minor placings. Goes well here with two top-three finishes to his credit. Among the leading players. SPORTS HERO (8) is a nine-start maiden who finished sixth at his most recent outing over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Well placed on this occasion and gets his chance to break the ice. INONIT (4) finished 4 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1207m at this track when resuming from a spell. Steps up in journey today. Strong top-three chance. THORSNESS (5) finished third at this track two runs back but was less effective last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt), finishing 9 lengths back in seventh. Nicely placed to make amends.
