Featured Track/Race:   Gulfstream Park – Race 8 
   
Race overview:  A solid 16k routing on the turf, though #4 SELFMADE (3-1) seems to hold all the aces on the stiff class drop. 
   
Pace:  It should be very honest, as several in here have shown a penchant for running on, or just off, the early lead. 
   
Trends:  Typically speed has held well on the turf, especially if a horse is able to shake loose early (which doesn’t seem likely here). 
   
Best Play:  #4 SELFMADE (3-1) (turf only): Aforementioned stiff class dropper was in against tons better in a 25k starter last time, so this group should be a lot more to her liking, and the race flow should help too. 
   
Bet Types:    Aggressive WP bet and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
