Sandman Kentucky Derby Prediction and Pick

Sandman is one of the clear top contenders at this year's Derby. With the third-highest average speed score (101.7) across the last three races, Sandman appears to be peaking at the right time.

There are questions over their top-end speed, but the recent trends suggest a rock-solid floor here. They've placed top-3 in five consecutive races.
