Aqueduct Race 9 - Race 9 - Maiden Special Weight
PRIDE OF THE UNION (2) was well fancied when resuming last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt) when fifth, beaten 12 lengths. Blinkers come off and he stripsh fitter. Sure to go well. B PROVOCATEUR (1) returned last time with a solid second at this track (Dirt) over 1308m after being prominent at the bend. Meeting a deeper field this time but he cannot be underestimated. HURRICANE KAZ (8) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of ten weeks, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Leading player on best figures - bold showing expected. BOOTSY'S A RASCAL (3) is racing well including a last start fourth over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Worth some thought.

Jumped as a despised roughie at debut, 6th of 9 at this track on February 4 over 1308m, 23 len behind B Thedonald with 55.5kg at $51.73. Didn't quite do enough on debut to raise the hopes.
