Superfecta Sunday at Keeneland

The Keeneland Spring meet is on a lot of our minds as we handicap our way towards the Kentucky Derby 2012.  Today we look at a spectacular allowance race over the TURF at Keeneland.

Keeneland Race 7 {1 mile~TURF~4 year old Up~Allowance}
A high quality field of ten Turf milers will make their start in this competitive allowance race.  All racing styles are present and can be counted on to provide a great race.  There is parity in this sharp caliber field.  Our challenge is to patch together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket.

#3 Workin' For Hops (Graham / Motion) is the class of the field coming off an extended layoff.  His last outing in the Fall of last year yields the second highest last out speed number all the while working on a two race progression.  This gelded son of City Zip has put in four superb peaking workouts in preparation for this.  He is also our Bronze Horseshoe selection.
$2 SHOW.

#1 Moryba (Prado / Mott) will challenge coming off a freshening with the fourth highest (tie) last out speed number, a two race progression, and four snappy workouts.  He has a win over the Keeneland course and should track the pace fluidly.

#2 Forte Dei Marmi [GB] (Sellers / Attfield) will also challenge with the highest last out speed number in a longer Turf route down at Gulfstream Park.  He is posting a two race progression, and has put in two strong peaking workouts.  This gelding should be amongst the tracking/closing faction.

#9 Jimmy Simms (Albarado / Asmussen) should be the speed of the race taking the field out in comfortable fractions.  He shares the fourth highest last out speed number and has put in four solid peaking workouts.  He could wire this field if left loose on the lead.

10 CENT Superfecta Box ($2.40)

#3 Workin' For Hops  +  #1 Moryba  +  #2 Forte Dei Marmi [GB]  +  #9 Jimmy Simms.
