Superfecta Sunday in Tampa

We venture to the other coast in wonderful Florida for our Superfecta Sunday.

Tampa Bay Downs Race 11 {Pleasant Acres Stallions Distaff Turf Stakes~1 1/16 mile~TURF~3 year-old Up~fillies/mares~FL~Stakes}

It looks like a field of nine will jog onto the grass in this neat affair. One horse (#4 Midnight Soiree) ran in a stakes event at Gulfstream Park yesterday. Doubtful that the connections will run her back today. There is some speed in this event which should produce a fair pace. speed numbers are very close making for a highly competitive race. Interestingly, some of the nations top trainers have entered their Florida bred girls in this modest stakes race. Of course, our task is to string together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket.

#9 Southern Sis (G. Boulanger / M. Casse) should run well given that she is only one of two with favorable in the money records at this distance. She holds a couple of good last out speed figs and one bullet workout. This gal loves the Turf and has the the third highest speed number at this distance. A daughter of Kantharos, she should track the pace ready to strike. She is our Bronze Horseshoe selection.
$2 SHOW.

#3 Supercommittee (Landeros / C. Brown) will be on the attack from a tracking position. She holds the second highest last out speed number and has put in two hearty workouts. This gal is the other one with a favorable in the money record at this distance, hitting the board twice from three tries. A daughter of The Factor, she is 70% in the money from ten career starts.

#8 Bitacora (Gaffalione / Walder) should challenge with the third highest last out speed number and two superb workouts. She will be coming down in distance from her last. This gal appears to be in good form with improving speed figs in each of her last three races. A daughter of Dominus, she should close swiftly into a solid pace.

#10 Picara (Bravo / Pletcher) could go off as the favorite with the highest last out speed number and two strong workouts. This girl posts the second highest (tie) speed number at the distance. a daughter of Turbo Compressor, she has the speed to take it to them early. She also has the second highest in the money record (60%) from ten career starts.
