TimeformUS Aqueduct Horses in Focus for Friday, March 22, 2019
Race 4: It’s a Shaw Thing (#1)
Was put in a difficult position chasing a loose speedball in her return on Feb. 15.
Showed improvement in her second-place finish last time when overcoming a slow start to lead through fast fractions.
Her speed could make her especially dangerous in this spot, depending on what the firsters do.
9-2 on ML

Race 6: Annette’s Humor (#5)
Her last race was not as poor as it seems considering that she was chasing outside against a rail bias.
Should not mind some rain in the forecast, since she’s run her best races on wet tracks.
Should be loose on the front end given the general lack of speed among her rivals.
9-2 on ML
Race 8: Palladian Bridge (#5)
Gets a significant rider switch back to Manny Franco after her previous jockey failed to make use her early speed.
Defeated this race’s morning-line favorite when they last met on Nov. 16.
Has run some of her best races over wet tracks.
