Aqueduct Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Special Weight
GARDEN OF GRACE (6) is still a maiden after nine runs. Was popular in betting last time out but didn't live up to market expectations, finishing fourth over 1207m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. VENETTA (9) ran well on debut last start to finish second over 1308m at Aqueduct (Dirt) in a tougher race. Has a wide gate to overcome but she will be hard to beat. ATIRA (7) will find this a little easier than her third on debut two months ago, beaten 7 lengths at the end of 1207m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Has plenty of upside so she should be in the finish. LAKE ARIEL (4) raced once in the maiden preparation when fifth at Saratoga (Dirt) over 1207m back on August 28. Keep in mind with Lasix used for the first time.

Resuming from a lengthy break. Only one run when 5th of 9 at Saratoga on August 28 over 1207m, 8 len behind Rina's Revenge with 54kg at $16.30. Will take a lot from this run but stays under notice.
