Steve Matthews' Aqueduct selections for Saturday, Nov. 29
Best bet: LIKA ROLLING STONE (3)
Best value: BRAVE BEAR (9)
FIRST: Just Tell Anne returns to dirt and makes third start of form cycle; forward move predicted. For the Ladies lost a head bob for all the money in debut; be no surprise. She's All Clover is from a dam that has produced four winners from four foals to race; could be the goods.
SECOND: Two Bits logged three tight works for first start in seven weeks; call based on price. Come On Get Happy flashed improved speed last out; very interesting. Three Sixty sheds the blinkers and returns to dirt; must consider.
THIRD: Lika Rolling Stone tallied solid final fraction when winning on Nov. 21; quick return seals the deal. Fast and Frisky needed last and owns competitive back numbers; worth long look. Higher Force consistently fires solid efforts; dangerous.
FOURTH: Sassy Princess wheels back in a hurry after 11-length score eight days ago; more to come. Hey Cookie should be aided by cutback to 6 furlongs. Elegant can prove very tough on a soft lead.
FIFTH: Shipsational should be in the garden spot in field where pace could get hot and hectic. Looms Boldly, the potential main speed, might prove tough on an unchallenged lead. Screaming Uncle is competitive on best efforts.
SIXTH: Cicciobello gets confident price hike after clear-cut second in last; more to give. Vinsanity returns to dirt after improved third in last; very interesting. Mr. Papagiorgio takes suspicious class drop; fire sale?
SEVENTH: How About It owns speed, drops and returns to dirt; breakthrough predicted. Career Risk shows a profile similar to top selection and hails from Linda Rice barn; big-time player. Lean Music Machine is training sharply for first start since switching stables; worth long look.
EIGHTH: The Boondocker is quick from gate and could get early jump with heads-up handling. Last Man Standing made sustained rally to break maiden last out; could easily take another. Sobieski logged only win on Big A loam; price will be tempting.
NINTH: Brave Bear was freshened after winning two in a row earlier this fall; sharp work tab is the clincher. Nuanced was a fast-figured maiden winner at Keeneland last out; regresses today? Bermuda Blitz owns speed and solid final numbers; don't ignore.
10TH: Mozambique notched five tight works for first start in 50 days; ready. Unbroken Chain was done in by sizzling splits last out; very dangerous. Mo for the King owns speed and fast numbers; must consider. Undisputed is right in the thick of competitive nightcap on "A" efforts.
