AQUEDUCT SPOT PLAYS – 1/5/2025
RACE 4: #1 LOTTIE MARGARET
No point in spending much time going over a likely heavy favorite, but this Brad Cox trainee figures to improve off a debut where she broke slowly and made a decent late move. She stretches out in distance and should be better suited to this trip, especially with only one rival in here having shown speed before.
RACE 5: #3 WAJDA
This is it for this son of Laoban, who has plunged down the class ladder and now reaches the bottom. He has improved from a speed figure perspective of late and should be tough to handle today at a short price.
RACE 6: #6 CRITICAL THREAT
Blowout Saratoga winner is back in NY after a trip to Kentucky and he ran a good race last time out at Churchill Downs. He has tactical speed and should be within range from the start today.
RACE 8: #1 DOLCE SERA
Late runner exits an improved effort and now cuts back in distance for trainer Edward DeLauro. She is going to get some pace to run at and should be a square price. Look for her in the closing stages.
