Super Screener: A juicy 15-1 top choice in the Santa Margarita
This week's edition of Super Screener is an exclusively California affair with analysis and wagering strategies for five races combined from Santa Anita and Golden Gate, including four stakes.
At Santa Anita, the Grade 2, $200,000 Santa Margarita for fillies and mares going 1 1/8 miles is among four graded stakes on a 12-race program. Golden Gate also has a blockbuster 12-race program featuring large fields and six stakes headlines by the $250,000 San Francisco Mile (G3).
Super Screener, the time-tested, data driven handicapping method developed by author Mike Shutty, took a deep dive into the Santa Margarita, which drew a field of nine, and unearthed a top choice that's 15-1 on the morning line.
This expert analysis is also available free with purchase of the Kentucky Derby Super Screener.
Lisette is a 4-year-old filly for trainer Paddy Gallagher who returned from a brief freshening to be a promising third going a mile behind winner Sharapova, who also returns in the 1 1/8-miles Santa Margarita.
"This filly will fly under the radar here which will be to our benefit," Super Screener begins in its analysis of Lisette.
Lisette, who drew the rail and will have Mario Gutierrez in the irons, is expected to take big step forward with a recent race under her girth. Super Screener projects a career-best Brisnet Speed Rating of 94 or 95 for Lisette, which would put her squarely in the mix.
"Added ground will be welcomed, supported by the fact that she distributes her energy in a very balanced way and her breeding shouts 9 and even 10 furlongs...this barn is best 2nd off the break. Offers tons of value," Super Screener concludes of its to win contender.
In addition to the Santa Margarita, this week's Super Screener also offer in-depth analysis and wagering strategies for the San Francisco Mile and Lost in the Fog Stakes at Golden Gate, plus the Charlie Whittingham (G2) and a competitive allowance at Santa Anita.
