Turf near the Surf Superfecta Sunday

 We venture to where the "Turf meets the Surf" for a fantastic Turf Stakes race.

Del Mar Thoroughbred Club Race 9 {Osunitas Stakes~1 mile~TURF~3 year-old Up~Fillies/Mares~Stakes}

A competitive edition of this annual affair features eleven ladies ready for the green.

Past Performances used:  Equibase.

There is plenty of speed and forwardly placed types to keep the pace flowing. Speed numbers are very close. Only three have yet to run over the Del Mar Turf. All have competed at this distance. It should be a superb race on a exceptional Superfecta Sunday card.

#12 Lunar Impact [GB] (Berrios / Blacker) holds three successive triple digit speed numbers and four tremendous peaking workouts. She should battle among the leaders on the front-end. This gal appears to be ready for a big race despite being moored on the outside. A daughter of Zoustar [AUS], she is 45% in the money from eleven starts.

$2 WIN  /  $3 PLACE  /  $5 SHOW.

#10 Sunset Glory [IRE] (Kimura / M. McCarthy) is another that has cobbled three triple-digit speed numbers in a row. Two power workouts add to her cause. Look for her to track the pace closely and sprout into the stretch. This lady loves the Turf, distance, and Del Mar course. A daughter of Cotai Glory [GB], she is 62% in the money from eight starts.

#9 Medoro (Rispoli / Eurton) is coming off a modest layoff, but has hit the board in all of her starts on the Turf, at the distance, and over the Del Mar course. The deserved favorite. Another that will track the pace closely and strike going into the stretch. A daughter of Honor Code, she is 100% in the money from eight starts.

#7 Raw Ability [IRE] (Cheminaud / Sadler) will show improvement as she attempts to get back to the winner's circle. This gal has put in four strong workouts. She looks to track the pace closely and spring into the stretch. She loves the Turf, distance, and Del Mar course. A daughter of Belardo [IRE], she has a win rate of 75% form four starts.
