(# 2) JUROR (Best Bet) - Huge effort scoring in US debut off a layoff. Overcame trouble to blow by field as if they were tied to a pole. Added distance, inside post and wide turns at Belmont can only help.

(# 1) Admiral Bird - Improved efforts last three starts off a layoff. Victimized by wide trips from tough outside posts in those outings.

(# 8) Of All Times - Must respect his early speed in a field which lacks it. Takes smart drop in class.

(# 7) Good Going Darl - Good effort Sept. 1, off a layoff. Sustained good closing rally. Barn is long overdue.
