Aqueduct Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming
METFARDEH (6) First up from a spell. Competitive effort when 3rd last run at this venue and promising career start. Jockey Kendrick Carmouche and trainer Todd A Pletcher link up well. No shock to see a win. INEFFICIENCY (4) Set the pace when winning by a margin of 6L last time at the track and was a debutant last start. Shows good early pace. Flavien Prat rates highly aboard. Top prospects against this opposition. BRUNCH WITH AMY (1) Ran on hard when winning last start at this track and can save some energy from the stall. Showing positive results this campaign but challenged by a tougher grade. Has the ability to take this out. I'M BUZZY (5) Got going late when 4th last time at this track but facing a stronger class. First race for a new trainer. Shows very good closing speed. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds.

Stormed home to win last start at this venue and drawn the rails. Linda Rice stable are in good form of late but challenged by more formidable competitors. Quietly confident of a big run at decent odds.

At $6.50 picked up some ground to run 4th last time around here but up against a higher level of opposition. First start for a new trainer. Genuine claims.
