Aqueduct Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming
SCYTHIAN (1) finished sixth last time out over 1811m at Tampa Bay Downs Turf, beaten 2.25 lengths. Expecting a bold showing. HELLO BEAUTY (6) resumed over 1811m at Aqueduct (Dirt) last start and was too good for her rivals, scoring by one length. Open to plenty of improvement and she is a major player again. HIGHER FORCE (3) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1811m at Aqueduct, beaten 8 lengths into fourth. Going up a level this time but she deserves another chance. NATIONAL ARCHIVE (7) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on November 15, finishing sixth and beaten 4.5 lengths over 2213m in the G3 Jockey Club Oaks Invitational Stakes at Aqueduct Turf (Turf). Has to be respected.
