Aqueduct Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance
ROMANTIC DANCER (2) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at her last couple of runs including a second most recently over 1408m at this track (Dirt) when beaten 2 lengths. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Among the leading chances. WILL NOT BE SWAYED (5) bounced back last start and landed the prize by 0.3 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Finds a tougher race but another win beckons. SOLOSHOT (6) finished 17 lengths from the winner in seventh last time out over 1609m in Listed grade at this track (Dirt) on December 28. Can bounce back. PAULA'S A STAR (3) lines up for the first time since August 24. Looking to emulate her win at this track when returning from a spell last prep. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
