Aqueduct Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
SO VAIN (6) broke through for her maiden win over 1207m at Aqueduct Inner Turf (Dirt) last time, scoring comfortably. Looks well placed and she can go on with it. TAHILA (2) had been racing well with two consecutive placings before last start managing only sixth over 1308m at this track. Winning rider Gokhan Kocakaya stays aboard. Best form puts her right in this. SPIRIT OF ESTHER (3) had been rock-solid with two placings in a row before finishing fifth over 1308m at this track last start. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Capable of testing this field. LADY WISDOM (9) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing eighth at Aqueduct Turf (Turf) over 1609m after she got a long way back in the run. Well placed and can play a prominent role.
