LADY MENDELSSOHN

Last race: March 28, 1st
Finish: 3rd by 7 1/2

Disappointing turf allowance by Cal-bred maiden winner, but she should improve on dirt. Her main-track works are very good. Worth following when she changes surface.

Aqueduct | Race 11 | Post Time 6:25 p.m. (ET)
Forever to Go (#14) may go favored in this full field maiden event that closes out the Saturday card. She's run the fastest races of anyone in this field, having surpassed the 90 TimeformUS Speed Figure threshold in each of her three dirt starts. However, she's settled for second each time, most recently as the odds-on favorite when run down after taking a clear lead into the stretch. She now has to overcome the far outside post position in a race that does feature some speed to her inside.
Who will be the shorter Derby prep price? Sovereignty, the two-time graded route stakes winner who is set to improve in his second start after a layoff, or Cornucopian, a second-time starter trying a route? I’ll say Cornucopian, and that Sovereignty is the more likely Saturday winner.

Broke horribly in $5,000 claiming sprint, last early, extended rally on turn and into lane, won going away. Late-running sprinter in top form can handle a class hike.
