AQUEDUCT

POST-SCRATCHES

5th: CLM/N2L, 3+, 1m-70y (P6, P3, DD, Super)

$27,552 P6 C/O Starts Here..

Fun betting race and I'm a sucker for 'first time 4yo's' like Crepe Au Sucre, who flashed talent at three before time out. Clever time for this one to come back since the name of the Kelly trainee refers to the Quebecois pancakes served now during sugaring off of the maples..

Best Value: #6 Crepe Au Sucre 5-1 4th
Next Best: #4 Storm Falcon 7-2 5th
Exotics Use: #3 Miami Hammer 3-1 3rd
Super Add: #1 Tapped Out Bruno 6-1 WON ($15.20)

6th: MSW, 3+, 1m-70y (G/S, P3, DD)

Inside trio look like the key players, but note the return of $700k Darley purchase Merensky Reef (8-1), son of the excellent and versatile Platinum Tiara who faced Game On Dude, Our Dark Knight, Morning Line and more before being sidelined last year..

Most Likely: #3 Eltheeb 4-1 WON ($6.30)
Next Best: #1 Corundum 6-5 3rd
Exotics Use: #2 Acadian Blues 7-2 2nd

7th: NY-MSW, 3+, 6f (P4, P3, DD, Super)

Interesting Empire maiden set with Giant Moon (Giant's Causeway) sib Piscesbythemoonlight making debut for Schosberg and Fried. Another notable bow comes from Albertrani's Elusive Quality son Hershel, a half to turf toughie Willard Straight (Lion Cavern)..

Most Likely: #5 Master Splash 7-2 3rd

8th: NY-ALW/N1X, 4+, 6f (P3, DD, Super)

Very tricky group made more difficult by presence of low priced Fortitude (2-1) who is capable, but has really run only two good races of the eight in which he has participated. Tocco d'Oro has a pace edge in here up front, and overlaid Mindboggling has never been better than Ferraro has had him since the calendar turned..

Most Likely: #8 Tocco d'Oro 3-1 WON ($7.20)

Nice group for this, and considering the ML, I cannot help but build bets around a horse with whom I've made a lot of money, Rahystrada..

With all the focus on short-toted Blind Luck (8-5) and Havre de Grace (9-5), you may want to be focusing on Spacy Tracy (5-1), a new mare on dirt since last fall, and Tidal Pool (6-1), back in best form..

Best Value: #1 Tidal Pool 6-1 4th
Next Best: #4 Havre de Grace 9-5 WON ($5.20)
Exotics Use: #5 Spacy Tracy 5-1 6th

10th: 51st Rebel (G2), 3yo, 8.5f (DD, Super)

Note anticipated SCR's of Dreaminofthewin, Glint and Elite Alex (Louisiana Derby). Fascinating assembly of lesser seen sophomores looking to play serious role on Derby Trail. Attention in advance of this has rightly been on Cali invaders The Factor (Baffert) and Sway Away (Bonde) in wake of Premier Pegasus' San Felipe romp a week ago. Baffert trainee sure looks to have big advantage on the engine..
