Aqueduct Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming
STRICTLY TABOO (1) built on a nice third two starts back at Saratoga (Turf) with a win over 1106m at Saratoga (Turf) five weeks ago, getting home by 3 lengths. Has the talent to take care of this field. SLIGHTLY BUSY (6) improved last time out, finishing 2.25 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1609m at Saratoga after being in contention on the corner. Will enjoy a drop in class so she is a major player. BELLACOSE (9) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at Saratoga (Turf) over 1106m last time, finishing seventh and beaten 16 lengths. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. WEEKEND RAGS (7) comes here off a freshen-up of five weeks after finishing fifth at her latest appearance over 1106m at Saratoga (Turf). Record at this track is strong. Cannot be underestimated. Something for the Multiples: LINARITE (5)
