Aqueduct Race 7 - Race 7 - Maiden Claiming
CELESLIA (1) stepped out for the first time last start and was just fair in finishing fourth at this track (Dirt) over 1207m, beaten 9 lengths. Anticipating sharp improvement with the run under the belt. SO TRU (3) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1207m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. COVERT AFFAIR (8) is on debut for the Raymond Handal stable. Three-year-old filly by Take Charge Indy from Caught By You. Should acquit herself well. Watch for a positive market lead. BENGALESE (5) closed last prep five-and-a-half months ago when she finished tenth over 1609m at Aqueduct Turf. Among the main hopes.
