Aqueduct Race 3

Stake: $71,577

READY SET TWIRL (5) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track (Turf), finishing fourth and only 2 lengths from the winner at the end of 1710m after being in the firing line on the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. SHADOW SURGE (4) was in the money over this journey two back then failed at the longer trip last time when seventh at this track (Dirt). Finds a more suitable contest and is a leading player. SPIRIT DRAGON (7) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third when resuming last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. DARK VECTOR (3) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fourth over 1408m at this track (Dirt) after being in contention on the turn. Meets some better types this time but he has the ability to test this field.
