Aqueduct Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance Optional Claiming
MY MAGIC WAND (6) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last time at Tampa Bay Downs and challenged by less formidable competitors. Shows good early pace. Manuel Franco takes the reins today. No shock to see a win. ROMAN GRACE (4) Solid effort when placing 3rd last run at Colonial Downs but facing a stronger group of contenders. Jockey Reylu Gutierrez is in top form for this stable. Winnable race. SPORTING LADY (1) Just missed last run at Colonial Downs and has drawn to do little work. Gains the services of jockey Jaime Rodriguez but racing against tougher rivals. Betting is the best guide and has each way claims. SO SOPHIA (5) Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Was nothing special when 10th last time at Tampa Bay Downs and competing in a higher grade. Change in trainer. One to watch and an each way chance. Something for the Multiples: MZ BIG BUCKS (3)

Right in contention last run at Colonial Downs and has a nice advantage with a good draw. Jockey Jaime Rodriguez is an asset but rising in grade. Definite claims.

Resuming after a break. Started at $7.00 and faded to finish 8th last time at Gulfstream Park but proven performer at this trip. Racing for a new trainer. Can show up in this at odds.

Made some ground late when 3rd beaten by 4L last run at Colonial Downs but matched against a stronger field. Reylu Gutierrez and Amelia J Green are an imposing duo. Solid prospects.

Fresh today after a break. Jumped at $5.50 and below par when 10th last time at Tampa Bay Downs and up against a higher level of opposition. Price in this race is tempting to get involved.
