Aqueduct Race 6 - Race 6 - Starter Optional Claiming
PROBLEMATICA (1) finished just half a length from the winner in second last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after racing on the speed. Likely improver with strong prospects. BEST IMPRESSION (6) is on a quick turnaround after a solid second over 1308m at this track (Dirt) eight days ago. Strong run last time and is expected to go well again. MY FIRST LOVE (3) fought on well for third last start over 1308m at this track (Dirt), making it two minor placings in a row. Well placed and should be in the finish again. JACKIE THE JOKER (2) recorded a strong on-pace win here last time by half a length over 1207m. Cannot be underestimated. Something for the Multiples: ECHO IN ETERNITY (8)
