Today's Horse Racing Picks:

AQUEDUCT Race #TWO (12:50 PM Eastern)

(# 3) HOT ROUTE - Raced between runners in Philly Park debut run against maiden specials. Blinkers go on and drops into a claimer, both good moves for trainer Tony Dutrow.

(# 1) Karen's Beauty - Blinkers go on and filly and drops into a claimer after a return run against beter. Draws the rail and Dominguez is signed on. Rail was very good the last four racing days.

(# 7) Awesome I Am - No chance in Spa. turf debut when she was eliminated at the start. Working very swiftly for this return run. Trainer J.P terranova is very sharp with his returnees.

(# 2) Charming Mandate - Makes her first start since coming north from Calder after debuting there in August. Trainer Tim Ritvo adds Lasix and Prado is enticed.

(# 6) GOLDEN HORSESHOE - Top barn (Steve Klesaris) sends out runner who has a pair of good second-place finishes since being claimed by this trainer. Should be positioned just off the lead down the backstretch.

(# 5) Guidance - Has shown enough to date that she is a win candidate. Return in an "off the turf" contest was fair, as she hadn't run since mid-May. May offer her best to date.

(# 1) Mizzenkey - Has had 13 chances without getting it done. Appears better on the grass, but last at Philly wasn't bad.

(# 2) She's My Sunshine - Tries to transfer her speed from the turf to the main-track. Inside speed has been very successful the past few days. Sharp drill on the Belmont dirt on Dec. 1.

(# 1) FAIRY GODMOTHER - Has speed, draws the best post, and attracts Prado. Several good tries on her resume, and she'll be involved from start to finish with a great shot at the win.

(# 4) Quixotic Lassie - Very good try in start number two for the Contessa barn. Overcame a bad start and a poor post (10)to finish second. Tries a distance for the first time.

(# 6) Golden Spirits - Well bet in first pair and Johnny V. was attracted three times. Sharp effort in last on the grass. Needs to transfer that to this dirt.

(# 7) Desert Scents - Much improved run in last with the addition of blinkers. Had a post advantage that day in a bit of a paceless affair.

(# 10) Free and Brave - Well-bet in first pair and has run evenly in both. Works are excellent but the post is a poor one. Possibility for the tri and super bottom.

(# 3) CAESARS PLEASER - Strong middle move in last at Delta Downs only to get run down late. Can move earlier than the other selections and that will be the key to victory.

(# 4) Silvie's Lullaby - Goes in a third off a layoff situation today, and should offer her best. Beaten by the No. 3 horse last out, but think she will reverse that today.

(# 3) Corwyn's Shark - Deep-closer got up in last when dropped down to a low level. Has defeated better in the past, but will need to find a bit more to run these down.

(# 7) MAUI STORM - Got his maiden win three back over this surface in very handy fashion. Excellent try at Keeneland in next just missing, and then a very wide try at Churchill against allowance foes. Working well, he's in a good spot to pick up second win.

(# 5) Pascal - Sharp effort in a claimer here when he probably was best. Eddie Kenneally trained runner tries allowance competition but is on the improve.

(# 2) Executive Chief - Has some speed and exits the same last pair as the top choice. Beat him narrowly in last, but the top selection trounced him two back. Needs to pick it up a bit.
