Aqueduct Race 6 - Race 6 - Allowance Optional Claiming
GARAMOND (4) held on well to finish second last start over 1646m at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt), beaten half a length when resuming as favourite. Must raise the bar but a big run is on the cards. TOXIC GRAY (5) has accrued two minor placings from three runs this preparation. Was always up in the leading division and finished 7 lengths from the winner in second last start over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. SACROSANCT (3) scored by half a length first up from a spell last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has a very good record here including four wins from six starts. Shapes as one to consider. RANGER BATTALION (1) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by 2.5 lengths over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Well placed to feature in the finish again. Something for the Multiples: AWESOME NATIVE (6)

Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign second last of 8 at this track December 29 2024 over 1408m, 8 len behind Gun It carrying 55kg at $4.30. When resuming last campaign third in a small field at this track November 9 2024 over 1207m, 6 len behind Illuminare carrying 54.5kg at $3.85. Unlikely to trouble the top few.
