AQUEDUCT

POST-SCRATCHES

4th: NY-MSW, 3yo, 1m (P6, P3, DD)

$306k C/O starts here..

Gary & Parcells send (Maurice) Carthon on a stretchout while adding blinkers and half to Naughty New Yorker should take to the mile trip well. Big threat to wire..

Most Likely: #4 Carthon 6-1 5th
Best Value: #7 Zonic 6-1 3rd
Next Best: #3 Can You Diggit 2-1 WON ($6.60)
Exotics Use: #2 Sicilia Mike 5-2 4th

5th: CLM, 4+, 1m (G/S, P3, DD)

Prince Zura another candidate to wire adding hood and dropping for clever Dennis Lalman..

Best Value: #5 Prince Zura 7-2 2nd
Next Best: #3 A.P. Cino 5-2 WON ($5.40)

6th: MCLM/$40k, 3yo, 6f (P4, P3, DD)

Tricky group with those that have run looking ordinary which opens up possibilities for the 2 firsters drawn inside. Note that 4 of these (4-6-7-8) drop from MSW to MCLM, with Cause of the Royal (6) going out as a first time gelding (T2D & turning back too) for KMc..

Most Likely: #1 Toga Challenger 6-1 WON ($11.00)
Next Best: #2 Polar Jet 6-1 4th

Super Add: #8 Duettino 12-1 6th

7th: NY-ALW/N1X, 4+, 6f (P3, DD)

Very competitive group but many of these have been stuck at the level a good while. Foreset turns back with own kind and may be better than these exiting open company starters..

Exotics Use: #1 Sky Chaparral 7-2 5th

Another testing set and I surprised myself by landing on Ostrolenka who drops down and cuts back and looks to be coming up to one of his good tries..
