(5) Hades ran into trouble at the start of the Florida Derby and was unable to flash his typical dose of early speed and never threatened. Bounces back here with a Kentucky Derby spot on the line. (8) Encino has never raced on dirt but has the pedigree to handle the surface switch. (2) The Wine Steward was a highly promising 2-year-old and can make up for lost time here in his 3-year-old debut. (3) Dilger was an impressive maiden winner and can be a factor with a similar effort. Betting strategy: 5 to win. Exacta and trifecta box: 2-3-5-8.
