Another good TURF race to handicap for our Superfecta Sunday.
Santa Anita Park Race 4 {Blue Norther Stakes~1 mile~TURF~2 year-old~Fillies~Stakes}
A great crop of young fillies will cruise over the Turf in this annual event. There is plentiful speed which could produce fast fractions. Speed numbers are so very close making any of these gals race. Our task is to fashion together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket.
It should be an exciting race.
#6 Courteous (Talamo / Mandella) should display speed in amongst this speedy group. She hold the fourth highest last out speed number and four strong peaking workouts. She has a sound affinity for the surface, distance and course. A daughter of Midnight Lute, she is 50% in the money from four starts. She is our Bronze Horseshoe selection.
$2 SHOW.
#7 Giza Goddess (Blanc / Shirreffs) is in fine form with the second highest last out speed number and three hearty workouts. A daughter of Cairo Prince, she appears to be improving with each additional race. She should be in excellent position while tracking the pace.
#1 Lady Prancelot [IRE] could go off as the favorite with the third highest speed number at the mile distance and three powerful workouts. This young lady loves the surface, distance, and course. A daughter of Sir Prancelot [IRE], she will benefit greatly from a blazing pace.
#2 Splashy Kisses (Van Dyke / O'Neill) makes the surface switch from dirt to TURF and comes down from a longer route. She has put in three stamina inducing workouts during a brief freshening. A daughter of Blame, she is another that will be tracking the pace ready to strike in the stretch.

Santa Anita Park Race 8 {American Oaks--G1~1 1/4 mile~TURF~3 year-old~Fillies~Graded Stakes}
A very solid field of eight will go to the gate in this annual affair. No speedy types wii give this race a European feel to it as they quicken going into the stretch. Speed numbers are close making it any of these girls race. The feature race on the card should be one of the best stakes races if the day.

She comes in from the NYRA circuit to race over the Santa Anita Turf for the first time. This gal holds an 83% in the money record from six career starts. A daughter of Speightstown, she could be forwardly placed for maximum advantage.
$2 WIN $3 PLACE $5 SHOW.
#2 Colonia [FR] (Bravo / Motion) looks ready to rock with the second highest last out speed number and three fantastic peaking workouts. This gal does need some pace, but with this distance she should have a lot left in the tank when they turn for home. A daughter of Champs Elysees [GB], she is 66% in the money from nine starts.
$2 PLACE $3 SHOW.
#6 Paved (Van Dyke / McCarthy) could go off as the co-favorite as she trims some distance from her last outing. She is the only filly in the race that has traveled this distance.

$2 SHOW.

Stakes Saturday on the Florida Dirt
On this Stakes Saturday we take a look at the feature graded stakes race on the dirt in South Florida.
Gulfstream Park Race 5 {Harlan's Holiday~G3~1 1/16 mile~3 year-old Up}
We have a short field of six in this one. Such as it is during the winter meets. There is truly one standout in the race, Audible, and relative parity among the rest as they battle for the remaining purse pie. Among the battlers, the speed figs are fairly close giving it a really competitive feel for these lads to hit the board. In a change to our favored exotic wager we will make an effort with the Trifecta.
#1 Audible (Castellano / Pletcher) is the one to beat. This year's Florida Derby winner (3rd in the Kentucky Derby), appears to be in fine form. He won last out earning the highest speed fig among this group and has put in three superb peaking workouts. This millionaire son of Into Mischief is undefeated at the distance and over the Gulfstream Park track. We will make a token win bet on this champion.
$1 WIN.
#4 Village King [ARG] (J. Velazquez / Pletcher) is in great form and should be part of the pace scenario. This guy holds the second highest last out speed number at a longer route and one stout workout. A son of Campanologist, he comes in from the NYRA racing circuit.
$1 SHOW.
#6 Sir Anthony (B. Hernandez / Mitchell) comes in from the Chicago racing circuit with three wins in a row including the Bruce D. on Arlington Million Day. He holds the third highest speed number at the distance and one solid workout. This son of Mineshaft should be closing swiftly with the right pace in front of him.
$2 SHOW.
#3 Sightforsoreeyes (Jimenez / Quartarolo) comes in from the Kentucky racing circuit with the second highest speed number at the distance and two tough workouts. A son of Sightseeing, he should also be part of the pace scenario. Look for him to put his tactical speed to good use.

Up North for Superfecta Sunday
We hit the synth up North in frosty Canada for our Superfecta Sunday.
Woodbine Race 8 {Valedictory~G3~1 3/4 mile~3 year-old Up~Graded Stakes}
A fine field of nine will hit the Tapeta in this annual contest. Lacking in any dominating speed, the race could come down to positioning as the quickening begins. Speed figs are fairly close although four have yet to run this longer distance. Our task is to select the right mix to conquer the 20 CENT Superfecta. It could be the best race of the day.
#7 Melmich (Contreras / K. Attard) looks to be the winner in this one sporting the highest speed number at this distance. He holds the second highest (4-way tie) last out speed number and two sound workouts. Proven at the distance, this millionaire son of Wilko should be tracking ready for the race to the wire.
#5 A A Azula's Arch (Moreno / K. Attard) is the lone filly in the race. She shares the second highest last out speed number and has put in two stout workouts. A daughter of Arch, distance should not be a problem. This gal loves the surface and the Woodbine track. She is our Bronze Horseshoe selection.
$1 SHOW.
#4 Vintage Matters (Wilson / Dickenson) will be moving from Turf to synthetic and stretching out to this distance. He is another sharing that second highest last out speed number and has turned three high quality peaking workouts. A son of Tapit, he should be tracking and closing vigorously.
#9 Pumpkin Rumble (Da Silva / K. Attard) could go off as the favorite following two straight wins. He holds the highest last out speed number and two strong workouts. He appears to be in the best form of the bunch. A son of English Channel he is another that will track whatever pace develops and battle in the stretch.
