Naturally it is up to the points winners to decide, but I suspect you will get your wish. Racing secretaries are very good at pairing really strong undercards to key Derby preps, so we have a very strong likelihoods of being taken to either Aqueduct [with potential weather issues], Santa Anita or Tampa for next weekend, then to Oaklawn on the 14th for the Rebel [unless we have a fan of Turfway Park], and on to the Fair Grounds for the Louisiana Derby on the 21st, before coming back to GP for the Florida Derby card. That's sort of the trail that we seem to follow each spring. It's a very enjoyable trail to follow.
