THE HONORABLE EYE (4) drifted back when fresh from a lay-off last start and finished 13 lengths from the winner in sixth over 7f at Aqueduct (Dirt). Placed at her only other second up appearance. Well placed to take this out. ZIPSY ROSE LEE (6) was in contention all the way and fought on for second last start over 1m at this track (Dirt), making it three minor placings in a row. Will need a good ride from Kevin Gonzalez off the awkward draw. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. COURTING WAR (2) again failed to feature last start, finishing fifth and beaten 27 lengths over 1m at this track (Dirt). Can play a significant role. HEART OF THE BEAST (1) is a four-year-old filly who is still a maiden after 11 starts but has been in the placings two times. Never a threat when resuming last start over 1m at this track (Dirt), finishing 32 lengths from the winner in sixth. Solid contender in this line up.
