Aqueduct Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Special Weight
TWIRLING LAD (4) is back at the races for the first time since November 14. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1408m at Saratoga. Comes here with definite claims. LORD KING (13) was in contention on the turn and progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1207m at Aqueduct after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. POPPY'S TICKET (2) gave away a big start at the top of the straight last start and finished 4 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1207m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Looks to be in the right race to play a big role. SPEIGHTFUL STORM (7) was in contention on the bend and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1207m at Aqueduct (Dirt), beaten 2.25 lengths. Likely improver with winning claims. Something for the Multiples: DINGHY BAR (3)
