Aqueduct

Runners: 6 Distance: 0m 6f 110y

Form
EW Places: 1/5 ODDS - 3 PLACES

Verdict: BRILAND is running for the second time and is less exposed than some of these and scored at the first time of asking. Army Gal and Nilo's Rose must be respected.

Army Gal

Jockey: Jose Lezcano Trainer: Linda Rice Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: -114

Comment: Was held in fourth here over 1m (stakes) 50 days ago; has won two of her three career runs and related to Stakes winner Sassy Nature; drop back to claiming level so warrants respect.

Fortuna Mia

Jockey: Eric Cancel Trainer: Linda Rice Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 49-42

Comment: Beaten narrowly here over 7f (allowance optional claimer) last month; recent efforts have generally been solid.

Twirling Beauty

Jockey: Romero Maragh Trainer: Raymond Handal Age/Wt: 3/8-10 F: 1

Comment: Successful debut here at 9-2 last month; claiming debut; despite that Aqueduct success, best watched despite being open to improvement.

Allenhurst

Jockey: Manuel Franco Trainer: Gregory Sacco Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: -521

Comment: Stepped up on her last two starts; shed maiden status at the ninth time of asking in a maiden claimer last month, scoring by 5l; in for a $100k tag here, up from $20k last time; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role as this step up from a maiden claimer looks tougher.

Briland

Jockey: Flavien Prat Trainer: Chad Brown Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 1-

Comment: Narrow winner on her debut (Saratoga, 6f) at 5-2 in August; related to Stakes winner Miuccia and from respected trainer; runs in claiming company for the first time; the yard has enjoyed plenty of winners of late; strong claims.

Nilo's Rose

Jockey: Christopher Elliott Trainer: Robert Falcone Age/Wt: 3/8-5 F: 21-1

Comment: Winner of two of her three runs to date; not had much racing - fourth outing here; won by 2½l three months ago in an optional claimer; makes limited appeal despite the last time out success.
