Dicey on a roll in Wilma Mankiller

Dicey will face a pair of notable layoff horses in Star of the North and Gotta See Red when she attempts to win her fourth consecutive race Monday in the $50,000 Wilma Mankiller at Will Rogers Downs.

The six-furlong race is for fillies and mares and has drawn a field of nine.

Dicey began her win streak in November at Remington Park, where she won an allowance sprint. She returned to action March 21 at Will Rogers and won another allowance sprint before taking the track’s $55,000 Miranda Diane in her most recent start April 11.

Apprentice Kylee Jordan was aboard, and the meet’s runaway leader in the standings has the mount again for co-owner and trainer Patrick Swan.

Dicey won her second career stakes race in the Miranda Diane, which was run over the same distance as the Wilma Mankiller.

Star of the North is a five-time stakes winner making her first start since September. Earlier in her career, she put a streak of seven straight wins together that stretched from the summer of 2020 to the summer of 2021. Star of the North won stakes in Minnesota and Texas during that period and will be making her first start in Oklahoma in the Wilma Mankiller.

She enters off a runner-up finish in the Minnesota Distaff Sprint at Canterbury. Alberto Pusac has the mount for trainer Francisco Bravo.

Gotta See Red is a three-time stakes winner making her first start since December, when she ran third in the $70,000 Useeit at a mile at Remington Park. She makes her return Monday at the distance of her win in the Oklahoma Classics Lassie in October 2020. Leandro Goncalves has the mount for trainer Kari Craddock.

Five Pics Please is looking for her first stakes win. She has been the favorite in her last five starts. The streak of public confidence includes a January start at Sunland Park in which she finished first by a nose in the Bold Ego Stakes, but had her number taken down for interference. More recently, Five Pics Please was fourth after setting the pace in the Molly P at Turf Paradise on March 11. That race has produced two next-out allowance winners at Turf Paradise.

Floyd Wethey Jr. has the mount for trainer Robertino Diodoro.

Five Pics Please will break from post 6, right outside of Star of the North in post 5. The horses appear to be the speed of the Wilma Mankiller, and if the pair makes for a hot pace it could benefit the late-running Dicey.

Dicey will start from post 7.
