Aqueduct Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Optional Claiming
FRANKIE COFFEECAKE (5) found one marginally better last start over 1308m at this track (Dirt) after being prominent throughout. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TWO DUCKS (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1308m at this track, beaten 4 lengths into fourth after being prominent at the turn. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. MITOLEGAYNE (1) was prominent in the early stages on debut last time out but weakened to finish fifth over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Better for the experience and can turn things around. WAITIN'ONASUNNYDAY (4) is back from a spell of ten weeks. Closed last prep with a seventh, beaten 42 lengths, over 1207m at this track. This sets up nicely.
