Featured Track/Race:   Gulfstream Park – Race 3 
   
Race overview:  A relatively modest low-level claimer sprinting on the main. 
   
Pace:  It looks honest enough, as more than a few want to be involved early, several of which have been backing up of late. 
   
Trends:  You want to be close sprinting on the main track, as speed plays, and races rarely fall into the laps of closers. 
   
Best Play:  #3 EARTH (5-2): Stalker had some trouble behind a class-dropping winner for 8k last time, so this drop should be key, and he should be closer early with a cleaner trip as well. 
   
Bet Types:    Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well.
