Aqueduct | Race 7 | Post Time 4:19 p.m. (ET)
I'm not trying to beat likely favorite With the Angels (#7) in the Correction. She had to settle for second behind today's rival Hold Your Breath (#1) when the two met in the Garland of Roses two back, but Hold Your Breath had all the best of it setting a slow pace on an uncontested lead that day. With the Angels was conservatively ridden to let that foe go early and was unable to reel her in late despite staying on well for second. Since then, With the Angels has come back with an impressive allowance win. The form of that race was flattered when the runner-up returned to win with an improved speed figure. She's drawn perfectly outside, and this time there is other speed to keep her main rival company up front.
The other horse I want is Sunday Girl (#6), who faded to fourth behind those two in the Garland of Roses. She got shuffled back in the early stages and made a wide premature move on the turn before flattening out. She's been freshened since that result and has worked well for her return to the races. I expect her to perform better this time, but I tend to think that With the Angels is just the stronger finisher at this stage of their careers.
