Top pick: #3 (QUIESCENT HIT) - Cuts-back in distance and goes turf-to-dirt for the Bruce Levine barn. Colt by "Smart Strike" ran well two back at this level and distance as he tired after showing some fine early speed. The top pick.
2nd pick: #2 (Overcommunication) - Firster by "Unbridled's Song" is working both fast and frequently for his debut. In the Pletcher barn and Dominguez is aloft. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Rule by Night) - First-timer by "Malibu Moon" is in the top barn of Steve Asmussen. Works are adequate for a trainer who doesn't ask for much in the mornings. He'll probably sneak off at a square price.
4th pick: #6 (Cole T) - Speedy sort has finished close-up in his last pair (both in New York-bred maiden races). He'll need to run faster today for more than a minor award.
