Top pick: #1 (REACH FOR YIELD) (3-1) - NEW gelding is racing off a three-month layoff and is stretching out in distance. Gelding finished a 'troubled' 3rd at this tag going 7-furlongs at Belmont May 10 and is training well above average for his return. Has the rail and is from the hot barn of Chad Brown.
2nd pick: #7 (Deep Consideration) (4-1) - Stalker ships in from Monmouth and is dropping to a new low in class. He's gone 7-0-4-2 facing tougher out of town and is a win candidate in his NYRA debut.
3rd pick: #6 (Balfe's Corner) (12-1) - Grey colt has a bit of speed and is racing off a seven-week freshening. He chased and weakened to finish 4th at Belmont at this tag June 25. Capable of getting a piece of this at a big price.
4th pick: #2 (Menehune) (20-1) - Lightly raced colt is stretching out in distance and racing third back from a 9 1/2 month layoff. He raced both wide & evenly last out at Belmont going 7-furlongs at this tag July 17. Blinkers go on and this big longshot has a shot with a bit of improvement.
