Superfecta keys: Play Saturday at Aqueduct and Del Mar

There is no probable payout pool for superfectas. The heavily wagered upon runners tend to be over bet in the superintending pool. A 10 cent superincense is a great leveraged wager if you select one runner you believe will land in any one of the top four positions.

The superfecta key strategy requires you to ensure that your keyed horse finishes in one of the top four positions. To maximize return, I am looking for three conditions to create potential for a high payoff.

The conditions are:Betting interests of at least nine entries but not more than 12, the ability to confidently key a horse that is not an odds-on or a heavily bet favorite, and field with runners ignored in the pool that would be at very high odds at post time but could be in top four randomly.

The Go For Wand (G3) is a one mile dirt stakes for fillies and mares 3-year-olds and up. This year's rendition brings together a field of 11 with one runner coming in off the claim. The field has combined for an in-the-money rate of two of every three starts overall and three of four at the distance. No. 7 Dr. B has never contested a route of ground in 15 lifetime tries and projects to be a strong factor from mid-pack. California based trainer Peter Eurton ships in No 5 Sharapova, who has two wins in two tries at this distance and is your key runner at 4-1.

The Play.10 Superfecta Key 7 with 3, 5, 8 and 10 is worth $9.60.

There is a field of 10 for the optional claimer on the turf at a mile and one-sixteenth for fillies and mares 3-year-old and up. Two of the runners are trained by Phil D'Amato. The balance of field exits dirt races. The field has combined for an in-the-money rate of one in two starts overall and slightly less at the distance. No. 1 Thrumps Dream comes out of a Graded stake and is your key runner. Macadamia is making her fourth start stateside after coming from Brazil. Pharoah's Song is the betting favorite.
