A Santa Anita Superfecta Sunday

 We go to the West Coast to take in a stellar Turf race at a classic distance.

Santa Anita Park Race 7 {Astra Stakes~G3~1 1/2 mile~TURF~4 year-old Up~Fillies/Mares~Graded Stakes}

An excellent field of nine will take to the green in this graded affair.

Past Performances used:  DRF Formulator.

There is sufficient speed among this group to keep a decent pace rolling. Speed numbers are extremely close making it any of these gals race to win. All have raced over the Santa Anita Turf, but only two have raced at this distance. Our task is to stream together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket. It should be an awesome race.

#5 Hermaphrodite [FR] (Rosario / Sadler) will be making her third start of the form cycle as well as her third North American start. She holds a couple of good last out speed numbers and has turned in two superb peaking workouts. This gal is 100% in the money at this distance while racing in France. A daughter of Le Havre [IRE], she should be tracking the pace ready to strike. She is our Bronze Horseshoe selection.

$2 SHOW.

#3 Altea [FR] (Cedillo / McCarthy) is in fine form with the second highest last out speed number and one solid workout. This gal will be stretching out to this distance. A daughter of Siyouni [FR], she is 58% in the money from twenty-four starts.

#6 Lucky Peridot (J. Hernandez / Miller) should challenge with the third highest (tie) last out speed number and three hearty workouts. She is another that will be stretching out. A daughter of Itsmyluckyday, she is 68% in the money from nineteen career starts.

#8 Quick [GB] (Rispoli / Sadler) should be in the mix with the highest last out speed number and four top-notch workouts. This gal is 100% in the money at four starts over the Santa Anita Turf. A daughter of Olympic Glory [IRE], she should be forwardly placed and get first jump on the leader.

10 CENT Superfecta Box ($2.40)

#5 Hernaphrodite [FR]  +  #3 Altea [FR]  +  #6 Lucky Peridot  +  #8 Quick [GB].
