Aqueduct Race 11 - Gazelle S. Stakes
PARADISE (1) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 4 lengths over 1609m at Listed level at this track (Dirt). Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. PASHMINA (6) hasn't been far away since a maiden win four runs back, the latest effort a third over 1609m in stakes class at Sunland Park (Dirt) on February 15. Stiffer assignment here but is expected to be in the finish. TWO BITS (4) scored by 0.3 lengths last time out over 1408m in stakes class at this track (Dirt). Has a terrific record here with two wins and one placing from three starts. One of the contenders. NYCON (3) broke her maiden three starts back and has not been far away since, most recently when beaten 4 lengths into second over 1609m in stakes class at this track (Dirt). Jaime A Torres stays aboard. Solid claims on best form.

Freshened since getting off the mark on debut; won by 6 len at Tampa Bay Downs February 6 over 1646m defeating Evangalina carrying 54kg at $1.60. Unlikely to be contesting the finish despite that strong debut.

Racing well recently. Returns from a 48-day let-up. Most recently 3rd of 7 at Sunland Park in LR on February 15 over 1609m, 3 len behind Bottle Of Rouge with 55kg at $6.70. The start before that 4th in a small field at Fairgrounds in LR on January 17 over 1673m, 1.75 len behind Taken By The Wind carrying 55.5kg at $29.10. Good effort last start and can build on that performance.
