Aqueduct Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Special Weight
BERNINA EXPRESS (3) showed good early dash at the first run after a spell last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing a nose away in second over 302m at Remington Park (Dirt). Will take catching. MORNING PRAYER (1) is back after a break of six months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing second at her latest appearance over 1710m at this track (Turf). No surprise if she was able to get off the mark. TICKET TO RIDE (10) resumes today after filling a minor placing at her only appearance last prep at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic) over 1006m on January 15. Should be poised just off the lead. One of the main contenders. FORCE OF MISCHIEF (6) was safely held last start on debut over 1207m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Should appreciate the longer journey now. Could sneak into the finish with some natural improvement likely.
