Sunday's Best Bet: Into Touring cruises in Juvenile Fillies Turf

Sunday's 9th race from Del Mar is the $100,000 Del Mar Juvenile Fillies Turf for two-year-old fillies traveling one mile on the turf course (Post Time 8:37 p.m. ET).

#7 INTO TOURING (4-1) followed up a solid 3rd in her turf bow at Gulfstream Park with a rallying maiden win from the outside post at this course/distance Aug. 1. Umberto Rispoli rides back and Mark Casse’s Tourist filly was the chalk both times and could easily move forward again and make it two straight.

#3 Urban (6-1) was an okay 3rd in her local turf sprint bow and runner-up Time to Party was a next-out winner. They paid $375k for this one and Simon Callaghan shows a profit with his first route starters.

#11 Helens Well (7-2) blew the break in her stateside bow Aug. 15 but it did not matter. She got pace to chase and rallied strongly for the win that day. Umberto Rispoli abandons but she loses nothing with Flavien Prat climbing aboard. She must overcome the outside post and cannot afford to miss the start against better foes this time.

#6 Dendera (5-1) moved to turf and stretched out second time out, and she chased below par fractions and kicked well clear that day. The show finisher was a next-out turf route maiden winner and the California-bred filly is a tad interesting in this open stakes. Flavien Prat jumps ship and John Velazquez hops aboard.
