Our Picks:
Epicenter @5/1 – To Win
Epicenter won the Gun Runner on Dec. 26, cruised to an easy win in the Risen Star on Feb. 19 (beating Zandon by more than three lengths), and won the Louisiana Derby on March 26 by 2 1/2 lengths, geared down.
Mo Donegal @8/1 – Each Way
Mo Donegal clinched his spot in the Derby with an incredible come-from-behind win April 9 in the Wood Memorial Stakes in Queens, New York. He came from last place to achieve this so has the makings of a great.
Tiz The Bomb @20/1 – Each Way
Tiz the Bomb clearly possesses an abundance of ability, but whether he’s capable of running the type of peak race on dirt that it would take to win the Kentucky Derby is yet to be seen but we think a place at high odds is definitely in his grasp.
