Top pick: #9 (BELLAMY WAY) (9-2) - $125K son of 'Bellamy Road' hasn't raced since tiring in a $250K stakes for fellow New York breds here at this distance Oct 18. Working nicely for his return and 3-year-old draws a nice outside post at this one-turn mile trip.
2nd pick: #8 (Interior Secretary) (5-1) - NEW gelding is another coming off an October layoff. Well backed in his first pair, he ran evenly in both. He's trained for his return at Fair Hill, Saratoga, and here at Belmont and can factor at a square price.
3rd pick: #6 (Send It In) (6-1) - One of two entered by trainer Todd Pletcher and the pair race uncoupled. Freshened up since April 16, gelding by 'Big Brown' is moving up in class and switching from turf to dirt. Three-year-old is working both frequently and above average at Monmouth and should contend at a big price.
4th pick: #1 (Sebonack) (2-1) - The second of the Pletcher pair, He has early speed, breaks from the rail, and has not finished worse than fourth in four starts. He should be involved from start-to-finish, but will be a short priced favorite.
