Superfecta Sunday in OKC

An evening Superfecta Sunday as we look in on the last race on the Remmington Park card as it closes out its racing season.

Remington Park Race 12 {Trapeze Stakes~1 mile~2 year-old~Fillies~Stakes}

An excellent group of eleven young ladies will enter the gate in this finale. There is plenty of speed to make sure there will be a swift pace. The speed numbers are extremely close. So close in fact that anyone of these gals could pull off the victory. Our task is to lasso a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket. It should be an extraordinarily fine race.

#6 Sassy Sienna (Bridgmohan / Cox) could find her way to the winners circle with the third highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and one solid workout. She has tracking capability which should come in handy considering there is a good amount of speed signed on. She is our Bronze Horseshoe selection.

$2 SHOW.

#4 Rose of Malibu (Cabrera / Trout) should have a great chance as she stretches out to the mile distance. She holds the second highest (tie) last out speed number, a two race progression, and three strong peaking workouts. This gal is 100% in the money from three career starts. She should have speed up front to demonstrate her closing capability.

#8 Elusive Truth (Vazquez / Asmussen) should challenge with  a couple of good last out speed numbers and three robust peaking workouts. This gal will be stretching out to the mile distance. She should be forwardly placed ready to ramp things up going into the stretch. Another who is 100% in the money.

#5 Cosmic Burst (Eramia / Von Hemel) should contend with the fourth highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and one bullet workout. Coming off two wins in a row, she should be forwardly placed ready for battle. She is one of three with a win in their only start at this distance.

A nice field of nine will hit the dirt in this night time allowance race. There is sufficient speed to build-up a decent pace. Speed numbers are fairly close with only six in the field covering this distance. It should be a great battle to the wire.
