Top pick: #10 (Set) (12-1) - Set has been in two races and won both with different styles. Set won by 5 3/4-lengths in his debut, then sat back for the first half-mile before shifting gears in the Cutler Bay Stakes. Set overtook King Julien at the quarter pole and had enough left for a push in the closing stretch to win by 1 1/4-lengths.
2nd pick: #6 (Neat) (9-1) - Neat has won four of six lifetime starts. Jockey Reylu Gutierrez will be atop again after skillfully guiding the horse to a close victory in the Transylvania Stakes. That was the first graded stakes win for the 3-year-old colt, who won the Texas Turf Mile by 5-lengths in January. Neat has ran in four races at 1 1/6 miles and won three of them.
3rd pick: #12 (Cugino) (8-1) - Cugino has been a bridesmaid, finishing second in three straight races. Cugino was edged out by a nose by Neat the last time out at the Transylvania Stakes. In three races at this 1 1/16-mile distance, Cugino has one victory and two second-place finishes.
4th pick: #7 (Stay Hot) (10-1) - Stay Hot has three stakes wins in a row, the Pasadena Stakes, the Baffle Stakes, and the Cecil B. DeMille. This 3-year-old ridgling has shown competitive fire, keeping it close and winning all three requiring photo finishes.
