Aqueduct Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Claiming
VITALIZE (2) First up after 50 weeks and amongst the placegetters when 3rd beaten by 4 3/4L first up last preparation at this venue. Jockey Jaime Rodriguez is a strong choice aboard. No shock to see a win. LUCKY DRAGON (4) Was well beaten when 5th last run at the track. Is capable of a resurgence but dropping back to a shorter trip. Must be considered. ANDERMAN (10) Good run when placing 3rd last time at Tampa Bay Downs. Displays very good closing speed. Respect in this event. INONIT (7) Was amongst the placegetters when 3rd beaten by 3/4L last run at this venue but will be facing a significant drop in distance. Going well this preparation. This field suits.

Odds of $36.00 and uncompetitive when 5th last start at this track but has drawn to do little work. Does take a while to get into stride. Very hard to have.

Resuming after a break of 46 weeks. Jumped at $14.00 and ran 8th last time here. Gets back and needs luck. Cannot have in this race.

Odds of $3.60 and lost ground in the run home when 5th last run around here. Is capable of a resurgence but will be dropping in distance. Definite claims for punters.

Solid run on the pace before weakening to finish 2nd beaten by 1 1/4L last time at this track. Likely to be well placed early. Not at all out of this race.
