On to sunny Southern California for this superb Superfecta Sunday.
Del Mar Race 8 {John C. Mabee~G2~1 1/8 mile~TURF~3 year old Up~fillies/mares~Graded Stakes}
A sound group of seven gals will go to the grass in this Sunday afternoon feature. There is a bit of forwardly placed types to keep the pace steady. These gals speed figures compare favorably. Most in here are coming off a brief freshening. Our task with this competitive field is to fasten together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket.
#6 Miss Serendipity [ARG] (Bejarano / McAnally) looks the best with by far the highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and four excellent peaking workouts. She has the tactical speed to control the pace and stride away from this field.
#2 Every Way (Talamo / Stidham) should challenge with the second highest last out speed number at a longer route and two robust workouts. This will be her first race over the Del Mar Turf, but she appears to ship well. She is our Bronze Horseshoe runner.
$2 SHOW.
#5 Moulin d Mougin (Smith / Mandella) will contend with a couple of very good last out speed numbers and four strong peaking workouts. She has the ability to track closely in a forwardly placed position and jump into the stretch.
#8 Stormy Lucy (Nakatani / Moger) should be in the hunt with a couple of decent last out speed numbers and three diligent workouts. This gal sports the second highest speed number at the distance. She should be tracking and closing ably.

An enjoyable Superfecta Sunday unrolls where the Surf meets the Turf.
Del Mar Race 8 {Best Pal~G2~6 1/2 furlongs~2 year old~Stakes}
A solid field of eight will step up to the gate. There is enough speed and forwardly placed types to keep the pace honest.

All are equally talented to pull off the victory. Our task is to attempt to sew together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta ticket.
