Aqueduct Race 11 - Race 11 - Maiden Special Weight
SLEEP WALKING (8) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 1.75 lengths from the winner in third over 1710m at this track (Turf). Big chance based on that effort. BARGAIN PURCHASE (12) has not raced since his debut back on February 28 when he finished seventh over 1207m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Should progress this time and is expected to feature. TWIRLING LAD (11) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at Aqueduct Inner Turf, beaten 15 lengths. Fitter so expect a better run this time. POPPY'S TICKET (13) gave away a big start at the top of the straight last start and finished 13 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1207m at Aqueduct Inner Turf (Turf). Worth including in this suitable contest.
