Super quick filly Sensitively, whose three-race win streak ended when she was runner-up to Shh She’s Ours in the Desert Storm Stakes at Santa Anita in late June, will try to get back on the victory track Wednesday when she faces an outstanding line-up of older fillies and mares in Del Mar’s Grade III $100,000 Rancho Bernardo Handicap.

 

The 6 ½ furlong Rancho Bernardo brought out several graded stakes winners among its  entrants,  namely, Lost Bus, winner of the Santa Monica Handicap ; Tara’s Tango, victress in the Grade I Santa Margarita last winter; Pretty N Cool, who won the Matron as a juvenile, and Finest City, successful in the Great Lady M at Los Alamitos last April.

 

Sensitively, a daughter of Street Sense owned by Fanticola and Scardino and trained by Phil D’Amato, is a non-stakes winner but her speed figures are the highest in the field. An odds-on favorite in her last three outings, she was second, beaten a length and one-quarter, in the Desert Storm which was timed in a blazing 1:07 3/5. Tyler Baze has the mount at 119 pounds.

 

Going postward under highweight of 123 pounds will be Finest City, Kent Desormeaux, fourth in the Yellow Ribbon Handicap at Del Mar most recently. At 122 pounds is Tara’s Tango, with Martin Garcia, followed in the weights by Lost Bus, 121 and Fernando Perez; Enchanting Lady, 120 and Rafael Bejarano; the speedy Pretty N Cool, 118 and Mike Smith, and Coniah, 114 and Drayden Van Dyke.

 

Post time for the first of eight races will be 2 p.m.
