Aqueduct Race 1 - Race 1 - Starter Optional Claiming
OHOOPEE (3) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. HOT GOSSIP (4) scored her maiden win here last time out over today's trip, getting the decision by 0.3 lengths. Looks well placed and she is right in the mix again. CARADISE (5) settled well back then came home powerfully to score by 0.8 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last time out. Among the chances again. SPARKLING MAMA (1) pushed forward and was a determined winner by 0.3 lengths over 1609m at this track (Dirt) last time out. Is going well this campaign, recording a win and two minor placings from five starts. One of the fringe hopes.

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 36-day let-up. Most recently won by a 0.3 len at this track January 22 over 1609m defeating Hot Gossip with 55.5kg at $3.44. The run before that came from midfield; 2nd of 9 at this track on November 28 over 1609m, 6 len behind Lady Rose carrying 54kg at $29.26. Broke maiden status last time and is worthy of consideration.
