Superfecta Sunday on the Turf at Santa Anita

 We look in on a superb graded stakes race over the Turf on this Superfecta Sunday.

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

A great group of nine talented ladies will hit the green in this annual event.

Past Performances used:  Equibase.

This should be a stellar race on the day. There is enough speed to maintain an honest pace, though there will be a quickening heading into the stretch. Speed numbers are fairly close. Only three in the field have gone this distance and only four have experienced downhill action. This race will be the final race for the final table in this year's National Handicapping Championship at the Horseshoe in Las Vegas, Nevada. Good luck to those skilled players who make it to the final table.

#3 Australia Mia (Dettori / McCarthy) should go off as the deserved favorite. She comes off a longer Turf route where she earned the third highest last out speed number. Two excellent workouts add to her luster. She has hit the board three of four times, albeit in Chile. This gal should be forwardly placed. She loves the turf, distance and course. A daughter of Street Sense, she is 75% in the money from twenty career starts.

$2 WIN  /  $3  PLACE  /  $5 SHOW.

#7 Buzz of New York [IRE] (Rispoli / D'Amato) will challenge with the highest last out speed number and a bullet workout. This gal will be stretching out to this distance as a lover of the Turf. She should track the pace closely and spring into the stretch. A daughter of Toronado [IRE], she is 64% in the money from seventeen career starts.

#9 Ballet Dancing (Prat / Callaghan) should continue improvement on the stretch-out. She is another that will track the pace closely. This filly shares the fourth highest last out speed number and has posted two sound workouts. A daughter of Medaglia d'Oro, she is 62% in the money from eight career starts.

#5 Duvet Day [IRE] (Kimura / McCarthy) is experienced at this distance and slightly longer. She holds the second highest last out speed number and two fine workouts. Look for her to track the pace. A daughter of Starspangledbanner [AUS], she is 53% in the money from thirteen career starts.
