Aqueduct Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming
SEQUENTIAL (2) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when third over 1609m at this track, beaten 7 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. MALDINI (5) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time when he was prominent throughout over 1811m at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. COME FULL CIRCLE (3) was prominent at the corner and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1408m at this track (Dirt), beaten 0.1 lengths. Nicely placed to go one better. SMALLCHANGEGEEP (4) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 24 lengths away in eighth over 1609m at this track. Worth noting Manuel Franco goes aboard. Suitably placed so can turn things around.

Recent form sound. At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 9 at this track on February 19 over 1609m, 7 len behind Ambition carrying 56kg at $3.45. The race before that favourite; ran on from midfield and won by a 0.3 len at this track January 9 over 1609m defeating Probability carrying 55.5kg at $6.69. Genuine contender.

Previously second-up second last of 12 at Aqueduct Turf on October 22 over 1710m, 25 len behind Landauer with 54.5kg at $52.64. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
