COMMENTS: BELLA SOFIA has three wins and a second in four at Belmont. FRANKS ROCKETTE ran some of her fastest fractions in her last and could be better in the second off the bench. MISS BRAZIL ran the top last race speed figure and is another that could benefit in round two after a layoff. KEPT WAITING looks much better on paper than ASSERTIVE STYLE.

COMMENTS: REPO ROCKS won his last by almost 6 lengths and big races are usually followed by another. MR PHIL ran better fractions in his last. CHATEAU rides the high win rate rail and hit the board in 17 of 21 at the distance. OFFICIATING is another to run faster times in his last and upped his late pace.

COMMENTS: GUFO six triple digit speed numbers in his last seven starts. The rest of the field has three combined. YIBIR is undefeated in two US races. He must be careful not to get caught in traffic as a deep closer. ABAAN popped major increases in his pace numbers last out. The concern is that he could bounce but you cannot ignore the improvement. SO HIGH is a flier on the backend for exotics.

COMMENTS: ELECTABILITY won his last two and now switches to jockey Irad Ortiz. WE THE PEOPLE was one of the favorites in the Arkansas Derby but failed to fire. He will try and rebound to the form that won his first pair of races with ease. SET SAIL broke his maiden in his second try with similar fractions at 1 mile as at 7 furlongs. GOLDEN GLIDER has been facing tough company along the derby trail.

COMMENTS: LEMISTA has been off since last August but 29 furlongs of good works since April 1st say he is ready. PLUM ALI won two in a row and is undefeated in three at the distance. RUNAWAY RUMOUR is a horse for the course with three wins a second and third in five at Belmont. She has one second in four races elsewhere. ROUGIR could be the favorite but his few runs on a firm turf surface resulted in some of her worst performances.
