Premium Pick

Top pick: #1 (BRILLIANT MESI) (8-1) - Well bred gelding rated, bid to a clear lead, then tired to finish third here at this level on Feb. 23. Four-year-old by "Bernardini" has the rail, meets a weak field, and appears on a form upswing.

2nd pick: #10 (Likeness) (10-1) - He's taking a big drop in class and stretching out in distance. One-run type has the best overall figures and is a strong win candidate in this spot.

3rd pick: #11 (Blue and Cold) (6-1) - Lightly-raced gelding enters off an even effort here facing tougher on the grass Feb. 20. Capable on the dirt and this Fla. bred is a threat if able to avoid a wide trip from this outside post.

4th pick: #7 (Seeking Twilight) (15-1) - Stretch out sprinter has the best early speed and longshot will be trying a two-turn trip for the first time. May take them a long ways at a very big price.

5th pick: #2 (Peanut Butter) (3-1) - He's another stretching out after rallying to finish second here at this level going 6-furlongs just eight days ago. In shape and he ran second in his only previous race on the dirt at this trip.
