#3 Distorted Admiral - Aqueduct R1, 17:20 GMT

Distorted Admiral faces maiden claiming company on dirt for the first time (did run in one on turf recently) and is fancied to break his duck in an uncompetitive race. His main rival looks to be Silberado, who goes first-off-the-claim for a new trainer.

#5 Dawn the Destroyer - Aqueduct R3, 18:18 GMT

An impressive allowance winner in July, Dawn the Destroyer has faced stiff tasks on her last two starts and should appreciate this drop back in class. Friend of Liberty looks next best, with She's So Fine also considered.

#9 Local Hero - Aqueduct R8, 20:47 GMT

Local Hero hasn't been seen for quite some time, but has joined Chad Brown, so the layoff isn't much cause for concern. He ought to take this allowance optional claimer before stepping back up into Graded company. Pete's Play Call looks the one for the exacta.
