Pundit pick: New York Minute

New York Minute has a strong record at this venue and ran below par at Thirsk last time in tougher company; back close to his best recent mark and the drop in class looks ideal. Sixpack's three wins in his last five starts make him the biggest danger, with Sax Appeal and Boatswain also in contention. New York Minute is our selection.
