Aqueduct Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance Optional Claiming
FOR THE LADIES (3) was less than a length from the winner in second at this track (Dirt) on debut before breaking through for a strong win over 1207m at this track last start. Capable of further improvement and can go on with the job. INTERSTATELOVESONG (4) broke through for her maiden win over 1308m at this track (Dirt) last time, scoring comfortably. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Looks well placed and she cannot be discounted. OHOOPEE (5) has switched yards since scoring by 2.5 lengths at Churchill Downs over 1106m on November 26. Has found a suitable race and is worth including. CARADISE (2) raced on the speed from the outset when resuming last start and finished third, beaten 6 lengths, over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Taking on a better line-up this time but she is up to the challenge.

Third race start. Strong on debut came from midfield and won by 3 len at Keeneland April 13 over 905m defeating Diblasi carrying 52.5kg at $2.94. Returned from break ran on from midfield and won by 2.5 len at Churchill Downs November 26 over 1106m defeating Valala with 53.5kg at $1.83. Looks a big chance to add to the impressive recent run.
