Premium Pick
Pickapocket (#6) - Versatile colt can handle the lead or stalk the pace and is coming off a monster effort in the World Appeal, where he held off many of today's contenders. Bullet work and big connections should translate to the win today. Daytona

(#12) - Pletcher colt just missed last out as he lacked room to move, coming 2nd to Pickapocket. As he's never missed 1st or 2nd in these ranks, we expect him to sit close and be right there at the wire.

Giant Cheiftain (#5) - Steadily improving stalker won on the mud last out and now heads back to the turf. Has had some traffic issues in the past, and if he gets a clear trip today, he is a definite threat.

March To Victory (#3) - Won impressively in debut and looks to make it 2 in a row on the Belmont turf. Trainer Clement wins with 24% of his runners that won their last start and 22% of 2-year-old.
