To the Turf for Superfecta Sunday

On this Superfecta Sunday we take in a Turf race in Southern California.

Santa Anita Park Race 7 {1 1/8 mile~TURF~3 year-old Up~Allowance Optional Claiming}

A nice group of eight will head to the grass in this highly competitive allowance feature. There is some speed to keep the pace rolling. Speed numbers are fairly close. It could be anyone's race. Our task is to weave together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket.

#4 TwentyTwenty Vision (T. Baze / Sadler) might have the edge with the second highest (tie) last out speed number, a five race progression, and three strong workouts. This guy is 73% in the money from twenty-three starts. A son of Pollard's Vision, he should be closing gallantly into the pace.
$2 SHOW.

#1 Bird is the Word (Bejarano / Almeida) should contend with the third highest (tie) last out speed number and four superb peaking workouts. This lad comes out of a grade three where he faced tougher. A son of Birdstone, this distance should be in his wheelhouse.

#7 Lifeline (Prat / Mandella) should challenge with a couple of good last out speed numbers and four stout peaking workouts. He should track the pace and strike in the stretch. A son of Scat Daddy, he relishes the turf and distance.

#9 Oscar Dominguez [IRE] (Desormeaux / Carava) should be in the mix with the highest last out speed number, a four race progression, and two sound workouts. This guy is another closer looking for pace. A son of Zoffany [IRE], he coming out of a longer route race.

10 CENT Superfecta Box ($2.40)

#4 TwentyTwenty Vision  +  #1 Bird Is The Word  +  #7 Lifeline  +  #Oscar Dominguez [IRE].
