There is plenty of great horse racing action to look forward to across America on Sunday, including at Aqueduct race track. Dating back to August 5 we are up 309.05 units with our race selections to our recommended stakes. On Saturday, out of 5 races we had 4 winners and 1 second-place finish. Let’s keep it rolling!
Here are 3 runners we expect to perform well today. It’s time to dive in and discuss these potentially profitable plays.
1:20 pm Aqueduct (Race 1) – Forestwood Lane 6/5
Put a below par eighth over a mile here in January behind him when finishing five-and-a-quarter-lengths fourth in a similar race to this over six-and-one-half-furlongs the following month. Built on that promising effort when delivering a career best nose second, a first on the board finish in a similar race to this here last month. That effort sets the standard on form and the five-year-old is taken to break his maiden with Trevor McCarthy booked to ride.
2:23 pm Aqueduct (Race 3) – Candy Monet 3/1
David Donk’s charge catches the eye dropping markedly in grade having finished a well beaten fifth when awkward leaving the gate in an allowance over six furlongs here back in February. The daughter of Paynter had delivered a good five-and-a-quarter-length second in a seven furlong $40,000 claiming event here prior and tackling an easier contest looks capable of delivering a first victory since taking a maiden special weight on a sloppy main track at Belmont Park last October.
5:01 pm Aqueduct (Race 8) – Velvet Sister 6/5
The daughter of Bernardini demonstrated good form at stakes level when finishing runner-up twice last year including when eight lengths second in a seven furlong contest on a muddy main track at Belmont Park in September. Absent since disappointing having weakened into fourth upped to a mile at the same venue subsequently however. The drop in grade here is in her favour and having delivered a 49.27 four furlong breeze here recently she is selected to double her career tally.
