Aqueduct Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance Optional Claiming
OPULENT RESTRAINT (3) resumes for a new yard after finishing in the money over 1811m in the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup at Keeneland Turf (Turf) at the last appearance on October 11. Generally runs well when fresh, recording two minor placings from four runs. Very hard to beat. UNREASONABLE (5) resumed over 2213m in the G3 Sheepshead Bay Stakes at Aqueduct Turf (Turf) last start when she sat close to the pace before fading in the straight to finish fourth, beaten 3.5 lengths. Will find this much easier. Best form puts her right in this. PEAK HYPE (6) resumes in a similar race to her last run six-and-a-half months ago when fourth, beaten 4 lengths. Among the better hopes. GROWTH TRAJECTORY (1) is a progressive galloper who is first-up since finishing sixth over 1673m at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic) four-and-a-half months ago which was the only run of that prep. Has a very strong record first-up including two wins. This looks a nice way to kick off the prep.

Back from a long spell. Only had one start last campaign held ground to the line 3rd of 8 at Keeneland Turf in the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup on October 11 over 1811m, 2 len behind Lush Lips carrying 55kg at $12.48. First up last campaign 3rd of 7 at Saratoga Turf in the G1 Belmont Oaks Invitational on July 5 over 1811m, 0.8 len behind Fionn with 55kg at $20.70. Could prove too smart for these.

Second run back. Comes off a 42-day let-up. First-up after three months ran last in a small field at Aqueduct Turf in the G3 Sheepshead Bay Stakes on May 1 over 2213m, 9 len behind No Show Sammy Jo carrying 54.5kg at $40.28. Previously second-up won by 2.25 len at Aqueduct Turf May 26 2025 over 2213m defeating Allamericanbeauty carrying 54kg at $6.10. Ready for improvement with that run under the belt.
