Superfecta Sunday Turf meets the Surf

On this Superfecta Sunday we take in an exciting Turf stakes race down at ol' Del Mar.

Del Mar Thoroughbred Club Race 6 {Osunitas Stakes~1 mile~TURF~3 year-old Up~Fillies/Mares~Stakes}

A talented field of seven will hit the Del Mar grass in this featured stakes race. There is a number of forwardly placed types that should keep the pace rolling. Speed numbers are fairly close. Our task is to wind together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket.
It should be a good race on a nice Sunday.

#5 Desert Oasis [GB] (V. Espinoza / Drysdale) should be able to improve upon her last out speed number as it scores the fourth highest among this group. She has put in three bullet workouts in the last thirty days. This gal loves the distance and the course. A daughter of Medaglia d'Oro, she should be traveling close to the pace ready to strike. She is our Bronze Horseshoe selection.
$2 SHOW.

#7 Sedamar (Blanc / Ruis) will challenge with the highest (tie) last out speed number and three superb peaking workouts. This filly has hit the board all nine times she has raced at this distance and all five times she has run over the Del Mar green. A daughter of Richard's Kid, she is another that should race close to the pace.

#1 Super Patriot (Prat / Baltas) is likely to be the favorite sharing the highest last out speed number and putting in three strong workouts. She absolutely loves the distance and the course. One of the more experienced in the group with a 61% in the money record from twenty-eight career starts. A daughter of Unusual Heat, she will be closely swiftly.

#3 Ziarah [IRE] (F. Alvarado / Badilla) should contend as she tries to go for five straight wins. She holds a couple of very good last out speed numbers and one solid workout. In her two efforts at this distance she has won both. This mare has a 65% in the money record from twenty-eight starts. A daughter of Iffraaj, she should race close to the pace.

10 CENT Superfecta Box ($2.40)

#5 Desert Oasis [GB]  +  #7 Sedamar  +  #1 Super Patriot  +  #3 Ziarah [IRE].
