Aqueduct Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Special Weight
POPPY'S TICKET (2) Not competitive when 5th last time at this venue but will try to take advantage of the draw. Jaime Rodriguez is a bonus. Respect in this event. KIRKWOOD (8) 3yo by Vekoma having first race appearance for trainer Miguel Clement. Watch the betting. SPEIGHTFUL STORM (7) Worked hard to place 3rd beaten by 2 1/4L last run around here. This field suits. MOONLIGHT DRIVE (10) 3yo by Speightstown having initial appearance for trainer Jorge R Abreu. Betting as a guide.

Back from a break. Was strong late when 3rd beaten by close to 13L last start around here and putting a tidy record together so far. Finishes off strongly. Definitely worth considering.

First up after 22 weeks and ran 3rd first up last preparation at Saratoga. Has shown early pace in races to date. Good career start. Should definitely be in your exotic bets.

At $8.00 didn't attack the line when 6th last start around here. Expected to settle towards the tail. Hard to warm to.

Racing fresh after a break. Odds of $14.00 and below expectations when 6th last run here. Jockey Sahin Civaci usually performs well for this stable. Can't leave out of your calculations.
