Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (HONOR AND COURAGE) (2-1) - Grey colt has been freshened up since Feb. 4. $500,000 son of 'Unbridled's Song' has a stalking style and has finished second in two straight at this level. Working well above average and he gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #7 (Hollywood Strike ) (5-2) - Well bred 4-year-old has early speed and enters of a pair of back-to-back second place finishes at this level. Home bred by 'Smart Strike' is an obvious win candidate.

3rd pick: #4 (Union Rebel) (5-1) - Colt finished second last out to 'Colonist' who ran earlier today in race #5. It was his best so far and came when blinkers were added. Working well since and Raf Bejarano is back on the re-ride.

4th pick: #1 (Secret Touch) (4-1) - Lightly-raced and improving, he was only a 1/2 length behind 'Hollywood Strike' last out. Only his second start, it was his first around two-turns. Has the rail and must be left in the mix.
