Superfecta Sunday Turf

Today we take a look at another long Turf race in glorious Southern California.

Del Mar Thoroughbred Club Race 5 {Hollywood Turf Club~G2~1 1/2 mile~TURF~3 year-old Up~Graded Stakes}

An intriguing group of ten will hit the Turf in this annual contest. There is some speed which should dictate a fast pace. Speed numbers are fairly close giving this race a nicely competitive aura. Only one millionaire makes his appearance in here, Itsinthepost [FR]. Our task is to string together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket. It should be a fantastic race.

#10 United (Prat / Mandella) might have the edge with the highest last out speed number and two stout workouts. This lad won over the Del Mar Turf in his only effort over it. He also has the highest speed number at the distance. A son of Giant's Causeway, he should be tracking the pace with his 60% in the money record from ten career starts.

#6 Cleopatra's Strike [ONT] (M. Franco / D'Amato) should challenge with the second highest last out speed number and four powerful workouts. This guy will be stretching out to this distance. He has hit the board at Del Mar in his only start there. A son of Smart Strike, he is another that will be tracking the pace ready to strike. He is our Bronze Horseshoe selection.
$4 SHOW.

#9 Overdue (Smith / D'Amato) will contend with three progressively strong last out performances and three superb workouts. This tracker should be primed for an outstanding performance. He loves the surface and the Del Mar course and will be stretching out for this race. A son of Overanalyze, he is 85% in the money from seven career starts.

#3 Zestful (Talamo / Glatt) is the speedball in the field. He has already registered a win in his only start at this distance. He comes out of a longer race with a solid speed number and has put in two short and speedy workouts. This son of Ghostzapper has recorded nine career victories and is 64% in the money from twenty-five career starts.

10 CENT Superfecta Box ($2.40)

#10 United  +  #6 Cleopatra's Strike [ONT]  +  #9 Overdue  +  #3 Zestful.
