I like AGS and AICG exacta box hoping that this time AICG holds on for the better price. Street sense has the benefit of the CD/Borel homecourt the first Saturday in May.
It isn't always the better horse but the better horse for that track that day!

The wind is howling here, currently 20mph gusting to 30mph out of the north (per weather.com). That means it will be a head wind down the backstretch and a tailwind coming home.
I don't think the Tampa Sand is nearly as quirky as it was say 5-10 years ago. It is definitely not as deep as it used to be. Generally, if a horse likes Churchill he will like Tampa.
Taking a stand with one of the standouts in the P4 may be the only way to make enough money to justify the risk. That said, leave either off your ticket at your own peril.
I think there are some juicy opportunities in the undercard Stakes.
GL to all today.
