Aqueduct Race 7

Allowance Optional Claiming

Prize Money: $122,682

DONEGAL SURGES (4) turned in a good performance last time over 1609m at this track (Dirt), finishing 2.25 lengths from the winner in second after he was always up in the leading division. The extra journey should play into his hands. Will pay to follow up. FILM STAR (2) lines up on the back of a 39 length fifth over 1811m at this track. Has a win and three minor placings from six starts at this track and distance. Big run likely. DREAMLIKE (7) finished second two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 0.3 lengths over 1811m at this track (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again. CLASSICIST (5) was in great form at the end of the last campaign with back-to-back wins, the latest over 1811m at this track five months ago. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Deserves respect on best figures.

Second run back. Comes off a 39-day let-up. First-up after 10 months eased back early on in a small field at this track in LR on December 27 over 1811m, 14 len behind Full Screen carrying 56kg at $5.85. Previously second-up won by 0.5 len at Ellis Park August 3 2024 over 1811m defeating Padiddle carrying 53.5kg at $2. Should progress from that first-up run.

Comments
Form hard to fault. Comes off a 40 day let-up. At the latest run won by a 0.3 len at this track December 26 over 1811m defeating Double Your Money carrying 56kg at $5.16. Before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 11 at this track on December 6 over 1609m, 6 len behind Life And Times with 56kg at $7.34. Hard to beat again.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield
