Aqueduct Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Special Weight
WHITETHORN (2) wound up strongly only to just miss when first-up as favourite last start over 1811m at Keeneland Turf (Turf). Should tighten right up following that outing. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. MARY LOIS (8) resumed from a spell last start with a sound third over 1811m at Keeneland Turf (Turf) after being in the firing line on the turn. Beautifully placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. PINCH OF BOURBON (1) finished 2 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1609m at this track after being prominent at the turn a month ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Should park just off the speed. One of the main contenders. STAND THE RAIN (5) resumes. Wasn't far away at the only run last time in work, finishing fifth over 1911m at this track (Turf) seven months ago. Interesting move to remove the blinkers this prep. One of the better hopes. Something for the Multiples: TRADING STRATEGY (4) COLLECTIVE BARGAIN (9)

Back from a long spell. Only had one start last preparation 5th of 12 at this track on October 26 over 1911m, 1.2 len behind Investment Process with 54.5kg at $20.60. When resuming last campaign eased back early on second last in a small field at Aqueduct on December 27 2024 over 1408m, 13 len behind Mega Mil with 54kg at $18.10. Best form gives her a decent chance.

At debut, ran last in a small field at Aqueduct on March 28 over 1609m, 21 len behind Point Of Reference carrying 55.5kg at $6.65. Encouraging signs on debut but this looks a tough assignment.
