Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (STATE OF HONOR) (8-1) - Colt seems to thrive on activity as he's already making his 10th start. Speed/stalker finished a pace-setting second in the Tampa Bay Derby (G2) March 11 and has worked fast since. He has the rail, plenty of two-turn experience, and is a threat at a big price.
2nd pick: #4 (Always Dreaming) (3-1) - One of two originally entered by trainer Todd Pletcher, he scratched #9 'Battalion Runner' and will run only this colt. Lightly-raced and improving, speedy son of Bodemeister' has won two in a row and scored here at this distance March 4. Training very fast since, he's a win candidate in his stakes debut.
3rd pick: #11 (Gunnevera) (8-5) - The morning line and probable favorite, he was an easy winner here in the G2 Fountain of Youth Stakes March 4. Strong finisher has won four of eight overall and is an obvious win candidate. However, he must overcome a tough outside post.
4th pick: #8 (Impressive Edge) (12-1) - Longshot has won two of three going shorter at this meet and is capable of getting a slice at a big price. However, he would need to step up considerably for any shot at the top prize.
