Aqueduct Race 6

Allowance Optional Claiming

Prize Money: $128,399

EXCELLENT TIMING (10) went fast early over 1308m at Saratoga (Dirt) last time and defied all challengers to score by 4.5 lengths. Likely to push forward from the wide draw. Steps up a level but he is capable of running a bold race. WORKS FOR ME (6) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then did a good job last start but found one better over 1207m at this track, beaten only half a length after being in contention on the turn. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. CITY MISCHIEF (3) did very well to fill a minor placing when resuming at this track but raced below expectations last time over 1106m at Saratoga (Turf), finishing seventh and beaten 4 lengths. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. POWER ATTACK (4) turned in a fine effort to win by 1.5 lengths at this track and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. Something for the Multiples: ACOUSTIC AVE (5) FORTUNE'S NEPHEW (8)

Recent form sound. Resumes off a 41 day let-up. Last start 3rd in a small field at this track on May 17 over 1207m, 0.5 len behind Light Man carrying 56kg at $10. The race before that won by 1.5 len at this track April 19 over 1308m defeating Dr Kraft carrying 53kg at $11. Good effort last time – right in contention.

Useful gelding. Last start scored a big 4.5 len win at Saratoga June 9 over 1308m defeating Market Alert carrying 53.5kg at $2.85. The run before that second last in a small field at this track in LR on May 2 over 1207m, 6 len behind Rotknee with 53.5kg at $5.20. Big chance to go back-to-back.
