Monday TimeformUS Highlight Horse: Sailaway should get preferred wet track again

Sweet Laura (#1) is obviously the horse to beat as a 14-time winner in the best form of her career right now. She's based on Parx, but she easily won her lone prior race at Aqueduct three back. She has since carried that form forward, chasing home graded stakes winner Irish Maxima before easily beating a weaker field last time. If she runs as well here, she's going to be a handful, but the price figures to be short.

Snide (#8) has run nearly as well in recent starts. She defeated the sharp Grace and Grit two back and last time chased home improving 3-year-old filly Point of Reference. She's drawn well outside with tactical speed, and it's a good sign that Linda Rice is coming back on short rest.

Those are the two likely favorites, but I think Sailaway (#7) has a chance for a minor upset. Her last race was flattered when Waveless returned to win. She didn't run as well two races back, but Sailaway was compromised by a wide trip against the rail bias that day. She's been steadily improving since getting claimed by Gustavo Rodriguez and she appears to be working well for this return from a brief freshening. If any pace develops, she figures to be rolling late. She also has done her best work when there's some moisture in the track.
