TimeformUS Aqueduct Horses in Focus for Friday, April 6, 2018

Race 1:
Never Nevermore (#1)

Was compromised by a slow pace in his debut, indicated by blue color-coded pace figures in TimeformUS PPs.

May not have liked having to rally inside of horses in that first start.

DRF Formulator Fact: Over the past five years, David Donk is 6 for 18 (33 percent, $2.13 ROI) with maiden second-time starters that finished in the money in their debuts.

Race 5:
Polar City (#9)

The Pace Projector is predicting a situation that favors horses on or near the lead, and he is predicted to control the pace.

Requires a fast track if he is to have his best chance.

Paco Lopez is an expert at riding front-runners, and new trainer David Duggan does a fine job.

Race 7:
Rock Ave. Road (#11)

Ran better than it appears when getting poor trips in a number of her races against winners last year.

Should work out a good stalking trip in a race that does not feature a plethora of early speed.

Trainer Rodrigo Ubillo can have a horse ready to fire off a layoff.
