Aqueduct Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance Optional Claiming
KIAMBA (4) resumed last start over 2213m in the G3 Sheepshead Bay Stakes at this track (Turf) and showed little early speed, settling well back but hitting the line hard to finish third, beaten 2.5 lengths. Can keep the ball rolling with Lasix added for the first time. AGIA MARINA (1) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 0.9 lengths into fifth. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. TRAIL OF GOLD (5) settled well back last start and never threatened when 4 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1710m in Listed grade at Saratoga Turf (Turf). Has the ability to figure prominently. ROMANTIC DANCER (7) made progress last start to finish second over 1408m at Aqueduct. Capable of featuring prominently.

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 55-day let-up. Most recently 2nd in a small field at Aqueduct on April 18 over 1408m, 2 len behind Filly Freedom carrying 57kg at $5.07. The start before that got back early second last in a small field at Aqueduct on March 13 over 1207m, 3 len behind Artemis Sound carrying 56kg at $1.73. Not far away of late. Worth including.
