Top pick: #6 (VISCHER FERRY) (3-1) - Speedy gelding is racing second back off a nine month layoff. He tired in his return start facing tougher going 6-furlongs. His connections bring him back quickly, stretch him out in distance, and drop him into a claimer for the first time. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Greg's Fourwheeler) (8-1) - No-speed type has rallied from far back to finish fourth in two straight here at this level. A stretch threat, he would love a fast/and or contested pace to rally close into.
3rd pick: #3 (Mind Magic) (2-1) - $110K gelding by 'Freud' is the morning line favorite. He debuted at Gulfstream April 4 facing 'open' special weight opposition and ran evenly while checking in 5th of 12, beaten just over 3-lengths. Nicely spotted today as he drops in class and faces fellow New York breds.
4th pick: #10 (Fordham Bound) (20-1) - Long shot did not break sharply in his local and grass debut May 29. However, he did improve his position in what was his first since Dec 16 at Gulfstream. May grab a share at a big price.
5th pick: #2 (Ten Twenty) (5-1) - One of two making their debuts, he cost $130K as a yearling and runs for a $40K tag first out. In a good barn (Joe Sharp) and a factor if ready.
