Steve Matthews’ Aqueduct selections for Friday, Nov. 28

Best bet: CARARRA (7)

Best value: BIG AIR (4)

FIRST: Power Seeker was a clear-cut winner in last and owns faster back numbers. Forgiving Spirit, an uncoupled barn mate of top pick, also won last and logged four works in the interim. Gatsby, another last-race victor, is 1-for-1 on Big A loam; must be factored into the mix.

SECOND: Adventurist tallied fast late-pace figure when second for white-hot Linda Rice; rates close call. Egyptian was a front-end maiden winner in last; dangerous. Fever Night, another from the Rice barn, drops and owns fast numbers on “A” efforts.

THIRD: Jackie the Joker pulls weight from the field and projects as the main speed. Whistler’s Style drops and turns back to sprint; intensified wallop expected. Firstlady Rosalynn fired half-mile bullet on Nov. 13 and is competitive on best races.

FOURTH: Big Air gets class relief after tallying improved internal numbers in last. Perugia is training with a purpose for first start since June for Linda Rice; 1-for-1 at Aqueduct. That’s Funny could impact if pace meltdown ensues.

FIFTH: Clarividente bounced in last after three straight placings; rebounds. Carolannie drops and moves to dirt for Brad Cox; likely underlay. Marajoline displays profile that’s similar to second selection; don’t overlook.

SIXTH: I’m Buzzy was a wide third in key race last out; three works in the interim seal the deal. Brzina owns speed and fast figures; likely favorite. Talkin in Cursive is rested and training consistently; price will be tempting.

SEVENTH: Cararra is riding a forward line on the numbers; breakthrough predicted. Maxaluna gets confident price boost by Rice after winning last; very playable. Moon Gate‘s speed must be respected; worth long look at long price.

EIGHTH: Twirling Beauty projects as the main speed with heads-up handling. With the Angels is 5-for-5; if chalk is your game. Cupid’s Heart should move forward in second start since two-month layoff.

NINTH: Sparkling Mama is rested and looms the swiftest of the swift with aggressive ride. Baseball Lady was a clear-cut second in last; big-time player. Credit Risk was done in by scorching splits last out; worth long look. Factory Setting fits Chad Brown’s signature pattern; right in the thick of this.
