Date  12/29/24 
   
Featured track  Gulfstream Park 
   
Race number  9 
   
Race overview  A strong 100k overnight handicap for 3upfm at 1 1/8 miles on Tapeta. 
   
Pace  It looks on the slow side, as there’s very few with early speed, which means #7 SAND AND SEA (9-5) should be able to make the front without much difficulty. 
   
Trends  Speed struggles a bit more routing on Tapeta, but class horses can see it out on the front end. 
   
Best Play  #7 SAND AND SEA (9-5): Local lover (3-for-5) just beat a few of these when 2nd last time, has a win at the distance, and should trip out beautifully as well. 
    
Bet Types    Aggressive WP and single in the late Pk5/Pk4Pk4 as well.
