Aqueduct Race 1

Maiden Claiming

Prize Money: $62,780

YOU'RE LOOKIN GOOD (4) is back after a break of nine weeks. At the last run before the layoff he finished seventh over 1710m at this track (Turf). Looks the one to beat. TAKAHAMA (6) improved last start to finish second over 1609m at this track after being in contention on the bend. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BIG BROOKLYN (3) was in contention all the way and fought on for third last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt), making it two minor placings in a row. Backmarker who gets home hard. Finds a suitable race and can make it to the winner's circle. ALWAYS HONEST (5) filled a minor placing when fresh from a spell two starts ago. Could not back that up last time when 13 lengths away in fifth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Fitter and worth another chance.
