Aqueduct Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Claiming
SO VAIN (4) Hit the line well when 2nd last time at the track and getting better in recent performances. Linda Rice stable are on fire recently. Winning claims. YOLO (5) Was nothing special when 8th last run at Turfway Park. Capable of a strong comeback. Has a nice turn of foot. Will go well. SARATOGA SUNSET (6) Ran out of steam towards the end when 2nd beaten by close to 9L last time at this track. Won't be far away during the run. Must respect in this event. FLEE (2) Managed to run 3rd beaten by 1 3/4L last start at this venue and has a positive draw. Keep in mind.

Started $43.00 and unsatisfactory performance when 6th last start at this venue but has drawn to do little work. Rough hope.

Started at $28.00 and was making up some late ground when 5th last start at this track and having second career run. Facing an increased distance. Looking elsewhere.
