Superfecta Sunday at Monmouth Park

Hard to believe it is Sunday already.  Belmont Stakes week begins.  It is sure to be a fantastic race this Saturday.  We are looking forward to the undercard as well.

For this Superfecta Sunday we take a look at a sprint along the Jersey Shore at beautiful Monmouth Park race track.

Monmouth Park Race 8 {6 furlongs~3 year old Up~Allowance}
A tremendously competitive field of nine is expected to go to the gate for this allowance feature.  Nearly half the field comes up as speedy.  The balance should stay close coming from off the pace.  The entire field is extremely close in terms of speed numbers.  Let's attempt the challenge of piecing together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket.

#8 Voodoo Charm (DeCarlo / Sacco) will be coming off an extended layoff, but has done well previously while fresh.  He shares the second highest speed number at the distance with an overall excellent in the money record.  This son of Devil His Due has put in four superb workouts prepping for his 2012 debut.

#3 Harbor Breeze (Carmouche / T. Hills) should be forwardly placed as part of the speed.  He will challenge with the highest (tie) last out speed number, a three race progression, and two efficient, peaking workouts.  He shares the highest speed number over the Monmouth Park track that includes a 100% in the money record in two races over the track.

#7 Street Haven (Trujillo / Serey) is like many of the Street Cry prodigy with a running style that closes fast.  He should be able to track and pounce with the third highest (3-way tie) last out speed number, a two race progression, and one decent workout.  This gelding takes to the six furlong distance well having won both of his two races at this distance this year.  He is our Bronze horseshoe runner.
$2 SHOW.

#1 Speeding Again (Marquez / McBurney) is much like his City Zip sibs, very, well er, speedy.  This guy will be pressing the pace for a piece of the purse pie with the second highest last out speed number in his only career start.  He won that race at first asking and has put in a couple of  strong workouts in the last 30 days.  This guy appears ready to show some zip.

10 CENT Superfecta Box ($2.40)

#8 Voodoo Charm  +   #3 Harbor Breeze  +  #7 Street Haven  +  #1 Speeding Again.
