Superfecta Sunday at Sunland Park

On this Superfecta Sunday let's take in a powerful Stakes sprint in Ol' New Mexico.

Sunland Park Race 8 {NM Racing Commission Handicap~6 furlongs~3 year old Up~fillies/mares~NM~Stakes}
A healthy field of seven will go to the gate in this stakes sprint.  All but one are coming into this with a brief freshening. There is plenty of speed to make it a very swift race.  There are a few in here with a versatile running style that should tamp down on a torrid pace.  Let's try to weave a winning 10 CENT Superfecta ticket.

#5 Rose's Desert (Shepherd / Fincher) may be the odds on favorite with the highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and two superb workouts.  She is a crafty one that should track the pace and explode into the stretch.  She is 100% in the money at this distance in six starts.  Definitely the one to beat.

#3 Little Valdalia (Eikleberry / Evans) should challenge bravely with a decent last out speed number and one significant workout.  She has a versatile running style that she will match to the pace.  She is another with a stellar in the money record of 80% at the distance in five starts.  She is our Bronze Horseshoe runner.
$2 SHOW.

#1 Dawn if Affirmed (Maderia / Marr) should be in contention with the second highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and two excellent workouts.  She should share front running duties and has the capability of wiring the field.

#4 Gossip Dome (Juarez / Mikkleson) could surprise with a couple of good last out speed numbers, a three race progression, and two hearty workouts.  She has the most experience at this distance having hit the board nine of eleven times.  This gal will wait for the pace to develop and launch into the stretch.

10 CENT Superfecta Box ($2.40)

#5 Rose's Desert  +  #3 Little Valdivia  +  #1 Dawn is Affirmed  +  #4 Gossip Dome.
