Aqueduct Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Optional Claiming
CELESTIAL BODY (5) missed the frame on debut then improved last time when 0.3 lengths away in second over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Has the speed to overcome the draw. Heading the right way and is expected to prove tough to beat. IT'S CAROL'S WAY (3) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations first-up at this track (Dirt), finishing sixth and beaten 9 lengths over 1408m. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MAIZEY BLUE (2) debuted seven weeks ago when she finished seventh over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 17 lengths. Better for that run and can improve sharply. TRUDA (6) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 5 lengths from the winner in fifth at this track (Dirt) over 1408m. Don't underestimate.

Most recently second last in a small field at this track on February 15 over 1207m, 7 len behind Doppio Espresso with 55.5kg at $16.70. The start before that ran on from midfield; 3rd of 11 at this track on January 18 over 1106m, 11 len behind Clarividente carrying 55.5kg at $10.05. Doesn't look good enough to threaten the top few.

Was well-supported at debut, ran last of 7 at this track on January 23 over 1207m, 17 len behind Strike A Rose with 55.5kg at $3.01. Likely to take a lot from that run and is worth following up.
