Featured Track/Race:   Gulfstream Park – Race 10 
   
Race overview:  An odd AOC on the turf, as the entire field are Tapeta runners with very little turf form, with the exception of #3 EXCHANGE DAY (7-2), who has two local wins. 
   
Pace:  It’s a turf sprint, so they’ll be moving early, though how many will be vying up front remains to be seen. 
   
Trends:  Tactical speed—at the very least—is preferred on the turf, as horses just don’t come from too far back to win, especially sprinting.  
   
Best Play:  #3 EXCHANGE DAY (3-1) (turf or Tapeta): Class dropper was in against 50k starters last time, so to dip in with Florida breds is a drop, and he has two local turf wins, in a field with for TOTAL wins on the grass.  
   
Bet Types:    Aggressive WP bet and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
