Featured Track/Race:   Gulfstream Park – Race 9 
   
Race overview:  A relatively modest AOC on the turf, which means the class-dropping #10 WONKA (8-5) will be tough. 
   
Pace:  There should be some pace down inside, as both #1 and #3 want to go, and the #4 should be pressing too. 
   
Trends:  The answer is “N/A,” since this is the first week of turf racing since the spring, but with a newly renovated course, the feeling is you better be close early (which is usually the case here anyway). 
   
Best Play:  #10 WONKA (8-5) (turf only): Classy miss has a win over the course and enough tactical speed to negate this outside draw, and simply looks a lot better than this group. 
   
Bet Types:    Aggressive win bet and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
