Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (MOHAYMEN) (6-5) - Undefeated (five-for-five) grey colt has won both local preps for this important contest. He won the G2 Holy Bull here going 8.5-furlongs Jan 30, then took the Fountain of Youth Stakes (G2) at the same distance Feb 27. Working nicely at Palm Meadows, if he wins this, it's on to Louisville.

2nd pick: #4 (Nyquist) (7-5) - Last year's 2-year-old champ, he went five-for-five in 2015 and capped his campaign with a hard fought win in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile (G1) Oct 31 at Keeneland. He won his seasonal debut going seven furlongs Feb 15 at Santa Anita and looks set for another big effort.

3rd pick: #3 (Majesto) (20-1) - Recent maiden winner did so here going 8.5-furlongs Feb 27. A career best, this $300K son of 'Tiznow' is capable of getting a small share at a big price.

4th pick: #2 (Fellowship) (30-1) - Longshot has some talent and has finished third behind 'Mahaymen' in his last pair. He may be able to round out the superfecta if patiently ridden from his inside post.
