Aqueduct Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Claiming
ALIAS (5) is still a maiden after eight runs and despite that was well fancied last time but couldn't quite get over the line, finishing a close second over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Best form puts him right in this. GUALILLO (7) is a five-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth at his latest appearance over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. INTO INSPIRATION (4) is a 14-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 20 lengths when tenth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Bold showing expected with added fitness this time. ARMY PROUD (2) is racing well, most recently finishing third three weeks ago over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Hard to leave out.

Most recently held ground to the line 2nd of 10 at this track on February 5 over 1207m, 0.1 len behind Seeker's Hope with 55.5kg at $2.86. The start before that second last in a small field at this track on January 10 over 1308m, 6 len behind Don Luis with 55.5kg at $2.11. Doesn't need to improve much to salute.
