#5 Long Term - Aqueduct R1 (17:50)

Long Term has been runner-up on both starts and should get off the mark at third time of asking in the maiden that opens Aqueduct's card. Improper clocked one of the best times in a workout a few days ago and looks the likeliest to chase the selection home, while the remainder look up against it.

#4 Stanhope - Aqueduct R5 (19:50)

Stanhope returned to form when third back on dirt last time and should give it a good go in this $14k claimer. A recent winner over today's C&D, Eucharist is also likely to be in the mix, While Dee Bo shouldn't be discarded either.

#4 Malibu Star - Aqueduct R7 (20:55)

Malibu Star hasn't cut much ice in allowance company of late but seems sure to be on the premises as he drops back into a claimer. Victory Built has been knocking at the door in recent races and can emerge best of the rest, while Mister Winston is likely to be on the premises too.
