Valley Stream

A wide-open field of six will go forward to contest the $100,000 Valley
Stream S. (G3) for two-year-old fillies at Aqueduct on Sunday. INDIA (Hennessy)
comes into the six-furlong affair as the even-money favorite on the morning line
for trainer Todd Pletcher, but to get a little more value, we will go with
DIAMOND SPIRIT (Holy Bull).

Diamond Spirit has an advantage with her late speed. The gray miss will be
facing mostly front runners and the likely quick tempo could set up for a
closing run by this one. The Allen Jerkens trainee broke her maiden last out
over this same surface and could offer some value under Jose Santos.

PRINCESS SWEET (Precise End) is perfect in two starts so far, both over
Aqueduct’s main track and at six furlongs. She’s closed off slower paces than
she’ll likely see here, but the chestnut
has a good chance to grab part with Cornelio Velasquez in the irons.

India comes off a poor performance in the Matron H. (G1) after breaking the
gate open prior to the start, but she impressed when breaking her maiden by 12 lengths
in her previous start. Pletcher and jockey John Velazquez have teamed up to complete a record of
16-4-3-1 over the past two weeks and this chestnut filly should make a strong
showing.

MIRACULOUS MISS (Mr. Greeley) is undefeated in her two-race career, her last
coming against allowance company. She has been working sharply for trainer Steve
Klesaris and her good late kick could put her on the board. Ramon
Dominguez has the call.

CELESTIAL LEGEND (City Zip) has won all three of her starts and comes off a
good score of the Holly S. at the Meadowlands. She has been putting up some
sharp works and looks prepared coming into this one. Keep in mind for the bottom
of the gimmicks. SLEEPING (Forest Camp) finished sixth in the Astarita S. (G3) against good
company and posted a triple-digit BRIS E2 Rating for that one. Jockey Eibar Coa,
who was aboard when the chestnut broke her maiden at first asking, returns for
the ride here and the duo could prove a threat.
