Aqueduct Notes

In the first at Aqueduct on Monday, Mickeless (12-1) had no shot last time out in a Starters Allowance that was far tougher than this restricted claimer. Prior to that was an excellent closing second in open claimers to Summus, winner of three in a row. Daughter of Cherokee Run closed in quarters of 12 1/5 and 12 2/5 that race, and even came home fastest of all in the aforementioned race in which she finished 5th. Looks like there's sufficient speed to set up her late run for trainer Bob Dunham. If you're a devotee of Moss Pace Figures, then you could be thinking that Captivating Cathy (4-1) will get the jump on the speed and be home free dropping steeply in class. Shannon H (8-1 poe) cuts back to six furlongs and would also benefit from some early pace.
