AQUEDUCT


POST-SCRATCHES


5th: S/ALW, 4+, 1m (P6, P3, DD)

$25k P6 C/O starts here..

Not a lot of pace signed on which figures to make it tough for lumbering favorite Complete Agenda. Expect Fromanothamutha (9-2) and blinkered Colloquy (6-1) to be the ones sparing on the front end, if there is any sparing. Morley, who's good off the claim, sends a pair of $25k collars taken a day apart in December. One-paced Afjan (12-1) took a while to break his MDN and late-ish running Doctor Love toiled between starters and tags throughout '22. Tricky start to sequence given murky pace scenario..

8th: Jerome, 3yo, 1m (P3, DD)

Arctic Arrogance the horse to beat, but there is other speed (Firenze Fire sib Andiamo a Firenze, Rice's 'other' horse, Valenzan Day) involved to keep him honest and/or soften him up for the stalker/closer set of Neural Network, Lugan Knight and General Banker..
