Top pick: #3 (COMPLIANCE OFFICER) - The main speed and an obvious win contender. Son of "Officer" has finished 2nd in his last pair at this level, including a fine effort two back at this distance. Trainer Terri Pompay has given him almost 6 weeks since his latest run and colt is working fast. The top pick.

2nd pick: #5 (Vertical Flight) - Gelding chased and tired on May 23rd his first race off almost a 7 month absence. Well back of the top selection in that one, he'll narrow that gap considerably this afternoon for his new trainer (Richard Dutrow) who wins at a 30% rate with his new arrivals.

3rd pick: #2 (Really Something) - He made up some ground in his debut despite racing wide most of the race on a "soft" turf course. Gets some added yardage to work with here and he's wheeled back quickly for this ( 7 days).

4th pick: #7 (Too Amenable) - Son of "Plesantly Perfect" rallied from far back in his debut to finish a close-up 4th. That was 7 weks ago and his trainer (Chris Clement) is very good 2nd time out (22%). Contender in an interesting maiden contest.
