Aqueduct Race 2 - Race 2 - Starter Optional Claiming
DANIELLA MARIE (5) won her maiden three starts back and is nearing another victory with placings at her last two runs, most recently when third over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Has a decent record at this track. Will be hard to stop. OHOOPEE (7) went forward last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt) and held on well for second, beaten 0.8 lengths. Perfectly placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. ST BRIGID'S CROSS (1) got well back over 1408m at this track (Dirt) last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 16 lengths away in fourth. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. BELLORO (6) is back from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Closed last prep with a sixth, beaten 24 lengths, over 1609m at this track. Big run is likely.

Freshened since claiming her maiden victory on debut; won by 6 len at this track December 7 over 1207m defeating Power Of Women carrying 54kg at $8.08. Unlikely to be contesting the finish despite that strong debut.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 40 day let-up. Most recently favourite; won by 1.5 len at this track December 26 over 1308m defeating Makealittlelove carrying 54kg at $2.32. The start before that 4th of 9 at this track on November 28 over 1609m, 9 len behind Lady Rose with 54kg at $4.56. Genuine hope on best form.
