We take a look at a splendid Turf race at Aqueduct for this Superfecta Sunday.
Aqueduct Race 8 {1 mile~TURF~3 year old Up~fillies/mares~Optional Claiming}
The weather should be pleasant enough to keep this one on the Turf. A wholesome field of eleven will go to the grass for this feature race. The speed in here will likely keep the pace comfortable enough for one of the forwardly placed to pull off the victory. Let's try to string together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket.
#10 Bay Head Beauty (Lezcano / Servis) looks likely to move forward with the third highest (tie) last out speed number at a longer Turf route, a three race progression, and one peaking workout. She will be forwardly placed ready to romp. This gal will be our bronze horseshoe runner for this Superfecta Sunday.
$2 SHOW.
#1 Downtown Hottie (Castellano / A. Dutrow) will challenge with the fourth highest (3-way tie) last out speed number and four sturdy workouts. Expect her to stay close and move swiftly through the stretch.
#3 Sally's Dream (C. Velasquez / Galluscio) will be in the fight with the second highest last out speed number at a longer route, a two race progression, and one hardy workout. She should be forwardly placed ready to pounce.
