Aqueduct: DRF Plus handicapping report for December 11, 2013

Race 1

Spot Play

Won't hold recent turf tries against TUG OF WAR (#5, 6/1) and wonder if the barn change can help him get back to his dirt form from 2012 and early 2013, which makes him very competitive.-Mike Beer

Race 2

Vulnerable Favorite

BOTTLEOFREDORWHITE (#3, 5-2) switches back to the main track and his lone star on the surface was forgettable, to say the least; certainly capable given the reduced class level but just as likely to show speed and fade again, as he did in his debut try.-Kenny Peck

Race 3

Spot Play

MISCHIEF MAKER (#6, 4-1) We’re back on the inner dirt for the next four months and this 4yo filly’s top two lifetime efforts were produced on this surface; the moisture will also help.-Chuck Kuehhas

Spot Play

HEAD HEART HOOF (#2, 7-2) might be the main speed in this sprint, which, given the size of the field and the class level, is oddly short on pace; big threat to steal it.-Kenny Peck
