Top pick: #5 (KEEP ME INFORMED) - He finished second here at this level and distance June 24th in an excellent overall effort. Trainer Bill Mott brings him back quickly and this son of "A.P. Indy" has a bullet hal-mile breeze at Belmont July 8th, presumably with the blinkers on that he wears this afternoon.
2nd pick: #7 (Overcommunation) - He also finished second here at this level last out and that effort came off a seven week freshening. Stalker from the Pletcher barn is an obvious contender with a repeat of his June 2nd performance.
3rd pick: #4 (Silent Appeal) - The main-speed, Jersey-bred set a solid pace and tired late to finish third in the same last race as "Informed". Capable of impacting and one of his best starts ever came on a muddy surface last October. Very dangerous if the track is "off".
