Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (CIAO BELLA ROSA) (7-2) - Expensive ($125,000) filly by 'Kitten's Joy' is dropping in class, is switching from turf to dirt, and is making back-to-back starts for the first time since the winter. Competitive on the grass facing tougher many times, she's nicely spotted by leading trainer Peter Miller.
2nd pick: #3 (Hotsy Dotsy) (4-1) - Filly drops a bit after rallying to finish 2nd at this distance for a $30K claiming price Oct. 29. It was a nice effort and a repeat of it makes her a win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Lovely Linda) (6-1) - Lightly raced and well bred, she tired last out when finishing four lengths in back of 'Hotsy Dotsy.' It was her second back following a pair of layoffs, and she seems set for her best. Dangerous at a square price.
4th pick: #5 (Let Me Flatter You) (3-1) - Speedy sort hasn't raced since late January. Competitive in both starts at this mile distance at that time, she's a threat on the front end if ready.
