Beer: Aqueduct horses to watch for week of April 23, 2018

Scatsuku
Trainer: Linda Rice
Last Race: April 18, 4th
Finish: 3rd by 1 3/4
Beyer: 67
First-time starter made a wide move into a slow pace and finished gamely to gain ground on the ground-saving leaders in the stretch in promising debut sprinting on turf.

American Guru
Trainer: James Jerkens
Last Race: April 18, 8th
Finish: 1st by 6
Beyer: 103
Unbridled's Song colt won his belated career debut easily at Gulfstream Park and he made it 2 for 2 with an impressive blowout score in fast time while making his first start in New York.

Proven Reserves
Trainer: Chad Brown
Last Race: April 20, 3rd
Finish: 1st by 6 1/4
Beyer: 90
Well-connected first-time starter landed in a short field in a race where the heavy-favorite failed to fire, but none of that should take away from his impressive run over a demanding one-turn mile; could be an interesting 3-year-old going forward based on this evidence.

Crossways
Trainer: Danny Gargan
Last Race: April 21, 10th
Finish: 1st by 5
Beyer: 85
New York-bred 3-year-old made his first two career starts on dirt, but has a pedigree much more suited to turf and he improved quickly when switched over to crush maidens with a solid Beyer of 85.
