Top pick: #3 (SAINT ARTHUR) - The probable favorite, colt by "Invasor" has been sharp in every start (4-0-1-3) and last out at Belmont he finished 2nd in a $125K stakes for fellow New York breds going 7 furlongs. Trainer Carlos Martin moves him back in with maidens and shortens him up a 1/16th. A bullet half-mile drill Nov 5th suggests he'll be tough in this spot, but reverse those exactas with both "Pleasure" and "Nail".

2nd pick: #9 (PLEASURE PRINCIPLE) - Trainer Rick Dutrow is the only major trainer in New York who stables year round at Aqueduct and he has this home-bred training nicely on this surface for his first since finishing 3rd at Belmont in late Sep. Son of "Freud" draws a good outside post and Dominguez is aboard.

3rd pick: #5 (Nail It) - Bet down to favoritism when debuting here just two weeks ago he finished an even 3rd and is brought back quickly by a solid 2nd out barn (Mike Hushion 30%). The addition of blinkers is another strong move by the veteran trainer (6 for his last 12 50%). Dangerous rival.
