Premium Pick

Top pick: #6 (VERRAZANO) (1-1) - He's the "in" horse right now with many thinking "Kentucky Derby" about this undefeated (2-for-2) and untested colt. Pletcher trainee has demolished a pair of fields at Gulfstream and will be trying stakes company and a two-turn distance, both for the first time.

2nd pick: #3 (Honorable Dillon) (6-1) - Another trying two-turns today, he comes off a career best when he won the G2 "Hutchinson" going 7 furlongs at Gulfstream on Feb. 2. He's working very fast since and is a legitimate threat.

3rd pick: #5 (Dynamic Sky) (4-1) - Son of "Sky Mesa" just missed here at this distance in the G3 "Sam Davis" stakes on Feb. 2. He finishes strongly and should get a fast pace to rally into.

4th pick: #2 (Purple Egg) (10-1) - Stretch-out sprinter is als undefeated (3-for-3) and has been training very fast for quite some time. In a capable barn (Jane Cibelli) and this gelding by "Lion Heart" will be a square price.
