We conclude our horse racing weekend with a stab at 10 CENT Superfecta Box at glorious Golden Gate Fields. It has been a relatively warm January here in Chicago, but a cold one for our handicapping. February looms and with luck will be fantastic.
Golden Gate Race 8 {6 furlongs~4 year old Up~fillies/mares~Allowance}
A superb allowance race which includes eight gals evenly divided between fillies and mares. There will be a great deal of speed in this race which could set it up for a horse coming off the pace. Our challenge is to cobble together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta Box ticket.
#3 Advance Ticket (Gryder / Patterson) looks exceptionally primed to take this one. She holds the highest (tie) last out speed number, a six race progression, and two modest workouts. She is 87% in the money at this distance and loves the Golden Gate tapeta surface. Hanging back and swooping through to victory could be her best strategy.
$2 SHOW.
#5 Chukchi Sunrise (R. Baze / Morey) will provide a strong effort sharing the highest last out speed number and putting in two solid peaking workouts. Her speed will serve her well and should allow her to hold on for a piece.
#6 Prima Gianna (Couton / Bellasis) could be the surprise here with the second highest (tie) last out speed number, a two race progression, and three significant peaking workouts. She has closed well at the distance and over the surface.
#4 So Tempted (Antongeorgi / Hess) is another that could do well in this race sharing the second highest last out speed number, holding a two race progression, and putting in three good workouts. She can be expected to be forwardly placed, ready to strike in the stretch.
