AQUEDUCT Race 5 Thurs-HDC Challenge

I can't seem to even get close to hitting a good race at Aqu. Therefore, I am sending out a request for all good handicappers to make a call in, perhaps, the worst field of horses ever assembled at a NYRA track.
Race 5, F & M clm $12,500 going 6f 3yo up.
#1 Soo's Purse, 12-1, Lousy record, last race was vanned off, came back 10 days later and fired a bullet. Drop in class and cut-back may help.
#2 Clap Hands, 4-1, turf-to-dirt, drop into cheap clm, and cut-back in distance. Has shown some speed in prior races.
#6 Shesnobedofroses, 15-1, First timer. Against these, WHY NOT!
As you will note, I have not chosen any of the ml fav's, It is hard to like a horse at 3-1 who is winless in 10 starts or who has never hit the board. Nevertheless, take a look at this less than bad race and post your input as to which one of these you think has a chance. I am certainly not sold on my picks and will gladly welcome your help in hitting a race at the Big A.

Good Luck
Good luck on your selection in race 4 today at Aqueduct. I did notice on your key pick of the #1 that the mdn race you referred to was 11 months ago. Since that time has done little. However, this is hardly a group of stand-outs and the 3,7, & 9 are probably vulnerable at short prices. Going to go with you somewhat and play a small exacta box with 1-2-5 and hope for good luck and a big price.
1.....lovely Lina
2.....hear Her Roar
3.....no Imagination
Good Luck And Good Racing!!!!!
