Aqueduct Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming
MANHATTAN CHROME (5) Chimed in with a win by 1L last start at this venue. Manuel Franco and Brad H Cox must be respected together. Every chance today. MO SPICE (6) Ran on when 2nd beaten by 4 1/2L last run at the track but testing ability against stronger contenders. Performing impressively since resuming from a spell. Gets a chance to win. MERCILESANIHILATOR (3) Couldn't maintain the momentum throughout when 3rd last start here but up against stronger opponents. Displays good tactical speed. Linda Rice stable are on a hot streak. Has to be strongly considered. ESCAPE HALL (1) Made up ground when 4th last time at the track on a heavy surface and will appreciate a good gate. Competing at a higher level of competition. Keep in mind.

Was 5/1 and closed off nicely when 4th last time around here and can save some energy from the gate. Up against a higher level of opposition. Worth a serious look.

At 17/1 didn't threaten when 5th last time at this track but drawn nicely. Taking on stronger rivals. Rather have another day.

Outgunned at the finish when 3rd last start here on a heavy track but facing a stronger group of contenders. Will be positive in the run early. Could feature prominently.

Started at 10/1 and showed some merit late when 5th last run here but up in class. Can go through the gears. Not likely to pull off the victory.

Was all too good winning by 1L last start at this venue. Jockey Manuel Franco and trainer Brad H Cox are a strong team. Will be hitting the line strongly. Should go close.

Managed to finish 2nd last run at this track but up against tougher competition. In fine form this campaign. Linda Rice stable are on fire recently. Can take this out.
