Talk Of New York (SR 128, 8/15) is the class standout in this field by a clear margin — 12 SR points clear of the next-best Shayem (SR 116) and 14 clear of Saber Strike (SR 114). Charlie Appleby's #1 runner is confirmed by William Buick's booking (20% strike rate, 360 career rides) over Billy Loughnane on stablemate Catullus, and the market has firmed 7% from opening, reflecting genuine confidence from connections. The form string 1-3113 shows consistent competitiveness at this level, with a last-time-out third that keeps the horse in the mix after back-to-back wins; at equal weights (all 9-3) and the same class, the SR advantage is decisive. Appleby's yard runs at 29% from just 179 runners, a strike rate that demands respect on any runner they send out with Buick aboard. Each-way alternative: Yazin. Main danger: Shayem — Shayem (SR 116) arrives on an improving form string finishing -05421 with a last-time-out win, and at 17/2 represents the most market-accessible alternative, though the drift of 11% and unproven distance record (DistFit:?) soften the case.
