Steve Matthews' Aqueduct selections for Friday, April 4 - Newsday

Published 2 months ago2 minute read

Best value: COQUITO (5)

is speedy, fresh and owns fast final figures. bounced last time after hard-fought win in prior; rebound threat. was flat in last; dangerous on "A" game.

was a game second in last; more to come in third start of form cycle. owns speed but lacks heart; must take the good with the bad. has trained sharply since last start; very interesting.

outworked 148 rivals in final work since claimed by Brad Cox. could prove very tough on a soft lead. gets selling price cut in half for first start since claimed by Linda Rice; damaged goods?

was a change-of-pace victor in last; takes another. is riding a two-race winning streak; dangerous. bested a next-out winner when taking last; don't ignore.

is 1-for-1 on Big A loam; class relief seals the deal. displayed improved speed in last; forward move predicted. drops and would be aided by pace meltdown; big-time player.

gets favorable cutback in first start for Brad Cox. fires big efforts with machinelike consistency; worth long look. exits determined win at this level last time; must be factored into the mix.

cuts back to mile and projects as the speed of the speed with Kendrick Carmouche aboard. would be aided by fast fractions. is another that would benefit from pace meltdown.

drops, adds blinkers and makes peak start of form cycle; dominant front-runner with Carmouche aloft. also gets class relief and owns fast back figures; dangerous. is speedy and can prove very tough if able to secure unchallenged early lead. was a determined maiden winner last time; price will be tempting.
