TOP PICK #3 WHOLEHEARTED With lots of speed in this field things could set up perfectly for this late runner. His last three sprint starts have produced a win and two close 2nd place finishes where he lost by just a head and a neck, and in all three of those races he was offered up at big odds. His Feb 18 rally was particularly good as it came against an open allowance field that was much tougher than the claimers he faces today.He also gets a key rider switch to ultra-hot jockey Ramon Dominguez

Horses for Exacta or Trifecta Wagering: 9 MOUNTAIN FOX 5/1 Returned from a 13-month layoff Feb 24 and blasted a Gulfstream field that wasn’t much weaker than this. He overcame traffic trouble on the turn and rallied wide.Trainer had a 32-1 winner here Friday.

1A ILLUSTRIOUS KISS 9/2 Stalker projects to sit a good trip behind a probable speed duel. He sat such a trip March 4 and won going away, his second straight excellent performance. Seems to be hitting his best form.

2 SEA LAWYER 6/1 One of several speed horses in here, but if he shakes loose from the rail he could wire them.
