Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (BABY ICE) (3-1) - Filly faces winners after a good looking maiden win here for a $20,000 claiming price Oct. 6. A career best figure was earned and owner/trainer Steve Knapp has her nicely spotted for this follow p attempt.
2nd pick: #5 (Sharona Sunset) (5-2) - The morning line favorite, speed/stalker drops a bit following a second-place finish at Los Alamitos racing for a $16K tag at this 2l condition Sept. 21. Competitive in 5 of her last 6 in claimers, 3yo is an obvious contender.
3rd pick: #2 (Dressed in Prada) (4-1) - Away from action since March 9, 4yo was an easy 6.5 length gate-to-wire maiden winner here that winter afternoon. Much improved since trainer Lloyd Wicker added blinkers last December, filly has gone 4-1-2-1 since then. She breaks just off the rail and is dangerous if ready off the 7.5 month layoff.
