Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (SICILIA CONNIE) (7-2) - From the barn of Linda Rice, filly drops to a new low after tiring here facing tougher Feb. 11. Lightly raced, daughter of 'Girolamo' gets a slight edge in today's finale.
2nd pick: #3 (Desert Affair) (6-1) - Price play races third back off a seven-week break and enters off a wide 3rd place finish at this level and distance Feb. 25. Promising effort was from a tough post and was her first in a claimer. She's breezed twice since, and both have been on the very quick side.
3rd pick: #8 (Lynnie B) (3-1) - The morning line favorite, she's been competitive in all three starts. Speed/stalker finished a close up 3rd at this tag and trip Feb. 16 in her first following a Bruce Levine claim. An obvious threat.
4th pick: #4 (Negev) (5-1) - Making her local and dirt debut Feb. 3, she chased a wire-to-wire winner and held down the place spot. It was her first in two months, first away from Gulfstream, and first for leading trainer Rudy Rodriguez. Must be left in the mix.
