Aqueduct Race 7 - Race 7 - Claiming
SOUTHEASTERN (3) was well fancied last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt) when fourth, beaten 5.5 lengths. This trip suits so worth another chance. MERCILESANIHILATOR (1) gave a bold display over this course and distance when resuming last start, racing on the speed and boxing on well to finish second and beaten 7 lengths. Taking on a better line-up this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. RESIDE (2) impressed when successful on debut over 1106m at this track (Dirt) nine months ago and has not been produced since. Has upside and is well placed to feature again. ESCAPE HALL (7) was comfortably accounted for when third last time out over 1308m at this track, beaten 9 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Worth plenty of thought.

Racing well recently. Comes off a 46 day let-up. At the latest run in a small field at this track on January 11 over 1609m, 5.5 len behind Bala De Plata carrying 56kg at $2.38. The run before that favourite; ran on from midfield and scored a big 7 len win at this track January 2 over 1609m defeating Grumblyrumhogan carrying 55.5kg at $3.06. Can turn things around.
