Top pick: #7 (LEGEND) (3-1) - Lightly-raced colt by "Tiznow" just missed here going 9-furlongs on Feb. 8. The horse that defeated him by a 1/2 length (Ring Weekend) returned to upset the "Tampa Bay Derby" two weeks ago. Working well at Palm Meadows and he gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #5 (Charge Now) (5-1) - WinStar home-bred is also a son of "Tiznow" and ran second here when debuting at a mile on the grass Feb. 15. Working fast for this, he moves to the dirt and has had two bullet half-mile drills recent on the deep main-track at Payson Park.
3rd pick: #6 (Strong Stipulation) (4-1) - No-speed type rallied to finish third here at this level going 9-furlongs on Feb. 22. Colt should be finishing fast again and would benefit if the pace were fast and/or contested.
4th pick: #9 (Lynx) (6-1) - Another without much speed, he rallied to finish third last out and was less than a length back of "Legend." Working fine, he runs off a seven week break and must be left in the mix.
