Jerry Shottenkirk's Daily Picks
Aqueduct - Race #4
Picks Notes
#8 Happylife Won a main-track race two back at Laurel and has does her best running on dirt; could be overlooked.
#6 A Ring Thing Set the pace and just missed while fourth last time, beaten a half-length in a blanket finish; seeks first dirt win.
#4 Scott Alaia Was along for fourth last time and has done well at higher levels than this on dirt; in the hunt.
Race Summary Happylife was a dirt winner two back and has taken on good company for decent success; fits well with these.
Aqueduct - Race #7
Picks Notes
#7 My Girl Lexi Cruised to victory two back and settled for second at Churchill last time; was claimed by Rice and can be a forward factor from the beginning.
#8 Cadeau de Paix Ran evenly last time but should get a good pace to follow here; can be a serious late challenger.
#6 Exotic West Was second in her last two and lacked a big finish in each; won the last time she was on dirt, which came at Saratoga.
Race Summary My Girl Lexi is fresh off the claim by Rice and can be very strong against these going a mile.
Aqueduct - Race #8
Picks Notes
#1 Core Conviction Blasted maidens in her first dirt race and stretches out to a mile; solid front-end threat.
#2 Auburn Hills Won two of her last four and is capable at this distance; can be a player throughout.
#5 Adare Was second in her last two and can be in an excellent tracking position; seeking her first win of the year.
Race Summary Core Conviction was stellar at seven furlongs and should have no problem getting the additional furlong.
