Aqueduct April 8

Race 1      2-3

Bajan Beach should be the pacesetter. In his last he finished only a half behind despite having trouble at the break. Should improve today. Momma Giovanna puts the blinkers on. Great race after a six month vacation

Race 2      1-6-5

Mrs. Sunday broke her maiden for $40K at, was over her head in an OC $75K but certainly has the breeding for the mile. The drop should be in her favor. Prom Dress comes up from GP after breaking her maiden at $50K at today’s distance. Another who was at the wrong distance and price level last time. Looks tough here. So Let It Be So has plenty of early foot and should appreciate the mile.

Race 3      5-3-6

Indian Fighter is back in the MCL ranks after faltering in a LRL MSW. Actually won at this level two back but was DQ’d. Irad seals the deal. Call Daddy drops down in search of a win. Just missed on the main last fall. Represents the danger to the top one. Perfect American is making his 18th start in the maiden ranks and figures to be somewhere underneath.

Race 4      1-2-6

Miss Da Point has been close her last three and is 3 for 6 on the main. Has the speed to get a good spot. Macha was running in a G1 a year ago and ran well after a troubled start in the Bay Ridge. Was beaten by a couple of these last out but is eligible to improve. Royal Suspicion ran a big one last out and has had some success on the main.

Race 5      1-7-5

I’ll go with Rambam to spring the upset today. The figures are not that bad and this is a very weak field. Moonsilver puts the blinkes on in search of a win in his 14th start.  At a more likely level today. Aleander is 7 for 12 in the money but doesn’t seem to be able to get to the winners circle. Drops way down for Jacobson in search of the win. Lots of possibilities, but I’ll pass if he goes off anywhere near the 2/5 ML.

Race 6      5-9-6

Petrocelli has consistently good figures lately and is the longshot choice in this affair. Has the speed to take this group all the way.  Don Tito is nearly a 30% lifetime winner and Danny Gargan has been outstanding with first time claims. Lots of positives. War Hero goes first time for Jocobson and is looking for three in a row,

Race 7      2-3-5

Sunnysider is 15-1 on the ML but should go off much lower. Has the top last race figure and is making a drop in class for today’s start. Laghubaar also drops way down in search of a win for Jacobson. Broke his maiden in powerful fashion and has raced well with much better since then. Could be hard to keep out. Super Nicky is far and away the speed here and that makes him dangerous.

Race 8      6-3-7

Slan Abhaile is probably better suited for the sprint distance. Abby Adsit has been good second off the claim. Definitely has the figures to compete here. Doc Almon ran well last out in a restricted stakesand before that was running very well. We’ll see if the switch to the main works in his favor. Sky Commander was claimed last out by DiPrima and gets Irad for this trip. At the top of his game but has a tall task today.

Race 9      8-7-1

Charitable is racing third off a layoff and second time for Jason Servis who has been having a great 2015. Hidden Warrior ran well after a troubled start last time and improves with a clean trip. Prime Time City has the best last out figure and should be in the scrum up  in the front.
