Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (SAVY CAIRO) (3-1) - The NYRA based barn of Linda Rice doesn't race many here, but she sent this filly south presumably for her ability to race on grass. She raced evenly sprinting on the dirt at Aqueduct for a $20K tag Nov. 7 when Rice claimed her. She wins at a 23% rate first off the claim and at a 22% clip on the dirt to turf move. 4yo meets a very weak field and gets top billing.
2nd pick: #4 (Rooney) (4-1) - She finished fourth here for a $25K tag Jan. 16 a contest where she was bumped at the break and has traffic issues later on. 4yo had checked in second in her previous pair and is a threat with clear sailing.
3rd pick: #1 (Always Lucky) (7-2) - 4yo finished second here at this level going a mile Jan. 5 in her first race since Oct 30. Speed/stalker has a ground-saving post and should be in this from gate-to-wire.
4th pick: #3 (Funny Feather) (6-1) - Lightly raced, she tired badly in an 'off the turf' contest Dec. 20. Mare had finished second on the grass in her previous attempt (Nov. 20) and could get a share with a repeat of that run.
