Timeform US SmartPlays: Wednesday December 16

Aqueduct race 1 (17:20 GMT) - Kentucky Road

Kentucky Road was claimed by trainer John Toscano following her most recent start for Todd Pletcher, and she can go in at the first time of asking for her new barn. Newcomer Egyptian Roase is respected, as is Trapper Jane.

Aqueduct race 5 (19:20 GMT) - Pegasus Red

Pegasus Red doesn't possess a great deal of early pace, but that could well play into his hands in a race likely to be run at a decent gallop. Another making his first start off the claim, Pegasus Red can go well in an open contest.

Aqueduct race 6 (19:50 GMT) - Riot Worthy

With a short run to the first turn, the draw in races over an extended-mile on the tight Aqueduct inner dirt track can prove crucial. With that in mind, it is worth backing Riot Worthy, who is drawn towards the inside. Her main danger looks to be Acapella, while second-favourite Time Squared is drawn widest of all.
