Timeform pick out three bets from Aqueduct and Hawthorne on Thursday.
Storm Petrel - Aqueduct 19:17
Storm Petrel's better form to date has come on turf, but she is bred to be fully effective on dirt, and Todd Pletcher looks to have found a good opportunity for her on Aqueduct's main track. She ran well before getting tired after a layoff last time, and should strip fitter for that.
Bold Rally (LAY) - Hawthorne 21:20
Bold Rally tends to run well without getting his head in front nowadays, and at a forecast price of 3.5, is worth taking on in this allowance optional claimer on the turf. Whateverybodywants and Big Tom Prado are amongst those that appear to have stronger claims.
Somali Byrd - Hawthorne 22:50
Switching from turf to dirt, Somali Byrd makes plenty of appeal in this 5.5f starter allowance contest. Equally effective on this surface, she has been running well at Arlington Park and Indiana, and usually gives her running.
