Aqueduct Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Optional Claiming
HOT GOSSIP (7) is a four-start maiden who could only manage to finish ninth at her latest appearance over 1609m at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. SPARKLING MAMA (1) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1609m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. DOPPIO ESPRESSO (3) improved last time out, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1308m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Taking on a better field but she is worth serious consideration. MY FIRST DINAH (4) made her debut last start at a big quote but defied the market to grab second, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has upside and must be respected.

Was at long odds at debut, 2nd of 7 at this track on January 11 over 1207m, 4.5 len behind Probable Angle with 55.5kg at $45.52. Doesn't need to improve a great deal to be opening her account.
