Aqueduct Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
CATCHPHRASE (5) finished eighth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1308m at Saratoga, beaten only 0.3 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Meets a stronger field but she is up to the task. SPUN SIZE (6) has switched yards since finishing third a month ago over 1308m at Saratoga. One of the genuine hopes in the race. MELLE MEL (2) improved sharply on her fourth two starts back at Saratoga (Dirt) with success as favourite over 1308m at Saratoga (Dirt) a month ago, getting home by one length after being in the firing line on the bend. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is capable of testing her rivals. I'M BUZZY (1) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fifth over 1207m at Saratoga (Dirt) after she got a long way back in the run. Placed to advantage so expect a bold run.
