Aqueduct Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Claiming
SHELLAC (4) Struggled with the pace when 4th last run at this track. Giving another chance here but dropping back to a shorter trip. Should muster plenty of early speed. Solid claims. GREY ACE (2) Outgunned at the finish when 3rd beaten by nearly 8L last run here and will try to take advantage of the draw. Live winning chance. PLEX (1) First up from a 43 week spell. Didn't find the line when 6th last time at Gulfstream Park. Should improve from the last run and putting a tidy record together. Expect to go close. CHIPS AND FISH (5) Antonio Arriaga trained 3yo by Omaha Beach having first race start. Watch the betting.

First up after a 43 week break. Jumped at 8/1 and couldn't stay in touch when 6th last time at Gulfstream Park. Should improve from the last run. Should be in the finish.

Faded at the finish when 3rd last run around here and has a positive stall. Likely to be well placed early. Exhibiting good form this preparation. Major player who should go very close.

Started at 7/4 and lost ground in the run home when 4th last run around here. Giving another chance here but down in trip. Has early speed and positions nicely. Should give this a shake.

Started 22/1 and inched into 5th last run around here. Yet to trouble the judge in all runs. Expected to settle towards the tail. Overlook from a betting angle.

At 7/1 faded to finish 6th last run at this track. Looking past the last run. One of the value chances in this race.
