Aqueduct Race 8

Allowance Optional Claiming

Prize Money: $136,858

SAND DEVIL (4) was well fancied last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt) when second, beaten 3 lengths. Jose Lezcano who has scored on him three times retains the mount. Leading contender. TRAIN THE TRAINER (6) is a progressive type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Recorded back to back wins with a 2.75 lengths success over 1408m in Listed grade at Saratoga (Dirt) last time. Won only start here and shapes as a key chance again. VEKOMA RIDES (2) resumes after a break of eight months. Did win at his only other first-up run when on debut, scoring over 1207m at this track. Solid chance. TOUCHY (8) has recorded four minor placings from four runs this campaign. Turned in another good effort last start when second over 1207m at Listed level at Pimlico (Dirt). Must be included in this sort of form. Something for the Multiples: PEDIATRICIAN (7)
