Aqueduct Race 3 - Race 3 - Starter Optional Claiming
MO SPICE (6) Placed 2nd last start at the track and returning to an increased distance. First appearance for a new trainer and promising career start. Should race on the speed. Winnable race. PRETTY BOY MIAH (7) Was very impressive when winning by a margin of almost 7L last start at the track and good career start. In fine form this preparation. Genuine winning chance. ANYWAY (8) Inched into 4th last time around here but facing a stronger grade. Jockey Flavien Prat adds value. A win wouldn't surprise. JUST ASAP (2) First up and made every post a winner when winning by a margin of 7L first up last preparation at Ellis Park. Should muster plenty of early toe. Looks promising in this race.

First up and went to the front and never looked back to win by 7L first up last preparation at Ellis Park. Displays good tactical speed. Solid prospects.

Narrowly beaten last start at this track but racing in stronger company. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Has some claims.

Honest race when 2nd last start here and putting a tidy record together. Should be going forward early. First start for a new trainer and returning to a longer distance. Good chance at a nice price.

Started at $4.50 and improved late to finish 4th last time at the track but racing against tougher rivals. Jockey Flavien Prat rates highly aboard. One of the punters top hopes.
