Top pick: #1 (MS. SYLVIA A.) (5-2) - Lightly raced and talented, filly has been freshened up since Sept. 17th. She finished a distant second that afternoon to "Blithely" who won again next out and looks to be a stakes bound. Working fast, she has the rail, and is one of two entered who has won on the Aqueduct main track in the past.
2nd pick: #4 (Court Dancer) (3-1) - Speed/stalker chased and held down the place spot racing here at this level on a sloppy surface Nov. 1st. It was a career best and the filly that beat her ran second here yesterday in a 4100K stakes. Daughter of "War Chant" had a bullet 1/2 mile breeze on Nov. 16th (best of 47), and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #10 (Sheriffa) (8-1) - She raced evenly in the same Nov. 1st contest that "Court Dancer" exits and was 3 1/2 back of that rival at the finish. It was her first off a Linda Rice claim and a subsequent 7-week break. Can factor with her best.
