TimeformUS Aqueduct Horses in Focus for Sunday, Dec. 9, 2018

Race 5: Cariba (#3)

Was very green in her debut, attempting to lug in throughout the stretch drive.

Had trained well prior to her first start, and has a right to do much better with that experience under her belt.

Kiaran McLaughlin gets a 94 TimeformUS Trainer Rating with second-time starters, as opposed to his 57 Rating with firsters.

7-2 on ML

Race 6: Beachside (#1)

Has already handled this one-mile distance, which is a question that the favorite still has to answer.

Ran better than it appears in his dirt sprints, and relished the stretch-out to a mile last time.

Was flattered when Not That Brady, whom he beat last time, returned to win impressively on Saturday.

9-5 on ML

Race 7: Bon Raison (#5)

The TimeformUS Pace Projector is predicting that he will be on the lead in a situation favoring the front-runner.

Handled this nine-furlong distance at Saratoga.

Gets needed class relief after getting placed too ambitiously against graded stakes company in his recent starts.
