Aqueduct Race 9 - Race 9 - Maiden Optional Claiming
HOT GOSSIP (8) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at this track (Dirt) over 1609m, beaten 0.3 lengths. Hard to beat. IT'S CAROL'S WAY (7) is back after a break of 11 weeks. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing second at her latest appearance over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Ready to find winning form. LIAM'S DIVA (1) showed good early speed last start on debut and fought on well to hold second, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Has ability and must be respected. KAY ROAD (4) was in the firing line on the turn and finished third last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 2.5 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Worth plenty of thought.
