Top pick: #3 (CENTRIQUE) (8-5) - She's been part of a resurgence this year for veteran trainer John Parisella and he has this daughter of "Malibu Moon" on a three race winning streak. Stalker moves up slightly, but she's working fast and will be very tough if she brings her Belmont form to Aqueduct.
2nd pick: #1 (Celtic Chant) (7-2) - Speedy filly is one of two entered by trainer Chris Englehart and the pair race uncoupled. She has the rail, is a fresh horse, and won here in April at this trip in her only previous race on this surface.
3rd pick: #6 (Promise Me a Cat) (5-1) - Freshened up since late August, she's a nice fit, consistent, and stalker is working fast for her return to action. Filly is (14-3-4-3) overall and won on this surface April 18th in the second best performance of her career.
