Superfecta Sunday on the Turf

As the sun shines down on the South Florida Turf, we peer into a Stakes caliber Turf contest on this Superfecta Sunday.

Gulfstream Park Race 11 {1 mile~TURF~4 year-old Up~Allowance Optional Claiming}

A field of eight with top Turf pedigrees will hit the green in this second to last race on the card. It has the feel of a Stakes caliber race evidencing the high quality Turf pedigrees represented. There are a few in here that should be forwardly placed which should produce a smooth pace. Speed numbers are fairly close. It should be a dandy of a Turf mile. Our task is to blend together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta ticket.

#4 Secretary At War (I. Ortiz / Jerkens) should have the edge with the fourth highest last out speed number and a superb workout tab. He loves the grass and the distance. This son of War Front is 54% in the money from eleven career starts. He is our Bronze Horseshoe selection.
$1 SHOW.

#3 Deeply Undervalued (Castellano / C. Brown) is coming off an extra extended layoff, but appears ready to roll. He holds the second highest (tie) last out speed number and has put in four half mile workouts in preparation for his return to racing. This son of Kitten's Joy is 83% in the money from six career starts.

#7 Funtastic (J. Ortiz / C. Brown) should challenge sharing the second highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and two sound workouts. This guy loves the Turf. A son of More Than Ready, he is 60% in the money from five starts.

#5 Nileator (L. Saez / Romans) should contend with the third highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and one dynamite bullet workout. He should be forwardly placed ready to strike. A son of Pioneer of the Nile, he loves a good Turf mile.

10 CENT Superfecta Box ($2.40)

#4 Secretary At War  +  #3 Deeply Undervalued  +  #7 Funtastic  +  #5 Nileator.
