Aqueduct Race 2 - Race 2 - Starter Optional Claiming
ADELEKE (3) Led and controlled the pace when winning last time Parx At Philadelphia. Going well this preparation winning 4 from as many starts. Displays good tactical speed. Sure to be thereabouts. WILLFUL DESIRE (4) Fought on well to win a tight contest last time at the track. Looks very sharp this preparation with 3 wins from 3 starts. Should come to hand quickly. This field suits. PISTOL LIZ ABLAZEN (2) Thrashed the field when winning last time at the track and suited at this trip in the past. Can't knock the form winning 3 on the bounce. Well placed and has solid claims. GOLDCREST (6) Tidy run when 2nd last time here. Have to respect the recent Linda Rice form. One of the hopes. Something for the Multiples: FLOGE (5)
