Aqueduct Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Claiming
SO VAIN (4) has been in the money at both runs this time in, the latest effort a second over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Should appreciate the extra ground. Overdue and gets her chance to break through. YOLO (5) ran below expectations last time at Turfway Park (Synthetic), finishing eighth and beaten 11 lengths starting at $3.12. Likely improver with strong prospects. FLEE (2) is a four-start maiden who finished third over 1408m at this track (Dirt) last time out after being prominent at the corner. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. ICY LEGS (7) finished 16 lengths from the winner in seventh at her most recent appearance over 1609m at this track (Dirt). No surprise if she figured in the finish.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 29-day let-up. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 8 at this track on March 5 over 1408m, 1.75 len behind Cathedral Aisle with 55.5kg at $19.77. The start before that 4th of 8 at this track on February 12 over 1207m, 11 len behind Power Of Women carrying 55.5kg at $9.92. Making headway. Likely to measure up again.

Jumped at big odds at debut, 5th of 8 at this track on March 19 over 1106m, 9 len behind Maxisure with 54.5kg at $41.28. Encouraging signs on debut but this looks a tough assignment.
