Featured Track/Race:   Gulfstream Park – Race 12 
   
Race overview:  An extremely strong renewal of the G2 Davona Dale, which stretches out the 3yo fillies to a one-turn mile. 
   
Pace:  Oddly enough, for a 12-horse field full of talent and several who stretch out, there’s not a ton of sprint speed, which means you better be close early because it won’t be easy to pass late. 
   
Trends:  You want to be close on the main regardless of the trip, but if a pace develops, you can close at this distance. 
   
Best Play:  #5 UNDERVALUED ASSET (3-1): Lightly-raced filly was tossed into the deep end of the pool in the local G3 Forward Gal but gave the favorite (#3 Red Carpet Ready 2-1) a scare off the turn before being repelled, but she should only move forward off that, draws outside her main rival, and should love the added furlong too. 
   
Bet Types:    Aggressive WP bet and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
