Aqueduct Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming
DESPO'S DREAM (5) has been in the market at her last couple of runs but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest fifth at this track (Dirt) over 1408m. The testing material on her best form. PROUD FOOT (4) is a strong fresh performer back after a break of ten weeks and looking to emulate her win at this track to kick off the last campaign. Expect her to pose a serious challenge. UNICORN CAKE (1) was in the money two starts back at Finger Lakes but couldn't back it up last time when seventh, beaten 10 lengths, at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. This doesn't look as hard so she is perfectly placed to score. IRISH JACKSON (3) returns from a layoff of seven months. Scored over 1308m at this track to launch the last campaign. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
