Aqueduct Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
SHELLAC (13) Set the tempo when winning by almost 7L last start around here and form has been improving over recent runs. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Goes very close. GEOSTOBLAME (11) Gave them a lesson when winning by a margin of more than 6L last start here. John R Velazquez is in form for this stable. Can get the job done. THREE PERCENT (4) Ran 6th last start at Tampa Bay Downs but going down in class. Displays good tactical speed. Showing great form since returning from a spell. Suitably placed in this race. MOMENT'S NOTICE (14) Narrowly denied a win last time around here and competing at a lower class. Has run into the placings at every start this campaign. Respect against this field.

Came in 6th last start at Tampa Bay Downs but drops back to a suitable grade. Should be going forward early. Very competitive this preparation. Good chance and definitely has claims.

Solid run on the pace before weakening to finish 3rd last time at this track but challenged by more formidable competitors. Should muster plenty of early speed. Watch the betting.
