Horses to Watch at Aqueduct for the week of Jan. 4:

AGAWA
Trainer: Chris Englehart
Last race: Jan. 3, 3rd
Finish: 3rd by 10 1/4
Beyer: 69

Checked in tight along the inside approaching the far turn while making her first start since July; veteran mare likes some moisture in the track.

SAFE PASSAGE

Trainer: Bill Mott
Last race: Jan. 3, 6th
Finish: 3rd by 3 1/2
Beyer: 56

This newly turned 3-year-old stretches out to two turns after a seven-furlong debut in the slop, broke slowest, and trailed by a dozen lengths through the opening half-mile before rallying with good energy.

CELEBRATED TALENT

Trainer: Linda Rice
Last race: Jan. 2, 7th
Finish: 8th by 11 1/4
Beyer: 74

Expected to be a strong part of the pace but stumbled badly at the break and lost all chance while making third start back from a layoff; won a first-level allowance by four lengths on the inner dirt last winter.
