Superfecta Sunday at Santa Anita

As Santa Anita closes out its Spring meet we take in an excellent graded Turf race.

Santa Anita Park Race 9 {Wilshire~G3~1 mile~TURF~3 year-old Up~Fillies/Mares~Graded Stakes}

A great group of nine will hit the green in this annual affair. There is plentiful speed to insure a speedy pace. Speed numbers are very close making for a highly competitive event. Pick six players will want to have a lot of coverage in this race for that huge 821k carryover. All of these gals are battle tested and all have a chance to saunter into the winners circle. Our task is to try to knit together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket.

#9 Ancient Secret (Prat / D'Amato) might have the edge with the highest last out speed number, a five race progression, and two sound workouts. This gal loves the Turf, distance and Santa Anita course. A daughter of Kantharos, she should track the pace and swoop into the stretch. She is our Bronze Horseshoe selection.
$2 SHOW.

#5 Sophie P [GB] (Desormeaux / Cassidy) will pose a mighty challenge with the second highest (tie) last out speed number at a longer route, a two race progression, and two stout workouts. This gal should be on the improve as she enters her third race of the form cycle. A daughter of Bushranger [IRE], she should be tracking the pace ready to strike.

#7 Storm The Hill (Bejarano / D'Amato) should contend as she also exits a longer Turf route. This gal has a couple of decent last out speed numbers, a two race progression, and three superb workouts. This daughter of Get Stormy, is 100% in the money over the Santa Anita Turf. She should track and close efficiently.

#4 Miss Julia Starr [FR] should be in the mix as part of the front running crew. She holds a couple of good last out speed numbers, a two race progression, and four excellent workouts. This will be the daughter of Never On Sunday [FR] third North American start after racing overseas. Of this group, she has the best in the money record at 78% from fourteen career starts.
