Aqueduct Race 11 - Gazelle S. Stakes
PARADISE (1) Won easily by 3 3/4L last time around here and solid career start. Maintaining a perfect record the last 2 attempts and has drawn to do little work. Key player. TWO BITS (4) Ran home strongly to win last run around here but facing a stronger grade. Jaime Rodriguez is a strong choice aboard. Right in this. ALWAYS A RUNNER (2) Comprehensive victory when winning by nearly 7L last start at Tampa Bay Downs and was on debut last time. Chad C Brown stable are in good form of late. One of the major players. NYCON (3) Showed a good turn of foot when 2nd beaten by 3 3/4L last time at this venue and putting a tidy record together. Challenged by more formidable competitors. Hard to knock and looks a nice each way proposition.

Found another gear when winning by nearly 7L last start at Tampa Bay Downs and was a debutant last start. Recent form of Chad C Brown is strong. Capable type.

Attacked the line when 2nd last time at the track and promising career start. Jockey Jaime A Torres and trainer D Whitworth Beckman enjoy a strong success rate. A threat to the other main hopes.

Finished hard to win last run at this track but racing in stronger company. More confidence with jockey Jaime Rodriguez guiding the horse. Capable of winning this.

Romped home to win last time around here but facing formidable opponents. Won't be far away during the run. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Most likely not today.

Produced an eye catching run when 2nd last run at Gulfstream Park. Has very good finishing speed. Recent form of the stable is strong. Can't leave out of your calculations.
