Aqueduct Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance Optional Claiming
GALINDA (5) Threw down a serious challenge last time here and putting a tidy record together. Shows good early pace. Jaime Rodriguez is a key booking. Could prove hard to beat. HOT GOSSIP (3) Gave nothing else a chance when winning by nearly 10L last run at this track but challenged by a tougher grade. Undefeated last 2 attempts. Better hope. PINKY BRIER (6) Was dominant when winning by 5 3/4L last time at the track but taking on stronger competition. Change in trainer. Racing consistently this prep. Likely threat. CURRENT YIELD (1) Weakened to finish 4th last run at the track but will appreciate a good draw. Should muster plenty of early speed. Racing against tougher rivals. Some place claims.

Odds of $11.00 and faded away to finish 4th last run at this venue but has minimal work to do from the barrier. Up in grade. Do not dismiss.

Jumped at $53.00 and was nothing special when 9th last time at Gulfstream Park but goes down in grade. Racing for a new trainer and has a good draw. This is a tough race.

Thrashed the field when winning by a margin of nearly 10L last run at the track but challenged by more formidable competitors. Made it 2 wins on the bounce. Will be competitive.

Zipped home into 3rd last run at Laurel Park and showing consistent performance in races. Has not missed the placings this preparation in 3 attempts. Looking to place betting and exotics.

Threw down a serious challenge last time at this track and good career start. Has shown early pace in races to date. Matched against a stronger field. Will not be far away.

Was rock solid when winning by 5 3/4L last time at this track but competing in a higher grade. First race for a new trainer. Looks good for a place at least.
