PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date:  2/1/2023 
   
Featured Track/Race:   Gulfstream Park – Race 5 
   
Race overview:  A very competitive OC/SOL routing on the turf that could go any number of different ways. 
   
Pace:  It looks potentially heated on paper, as several come in off either wire-to-wire wins or pace pressing wins, so showing an ability to pass horses late is a big bonus. 
   
Trends:  You want to be close on the turf, as speed has been carrying, but in this instance, it still looks like too much heat up front. 
   
Best Play:  #7 ANGELAS PARTY GIRL (5-1): Stalker endured a brutal trip last time but wasn’t beaten much, should like the race flow, and meets a field full of perfect-trip maiden wins who are now stepping up. 
   
Bet Types:    Aggressive WP bet and single to end the early Pk5/Pk4, and to kick off the late Pk4 as well.
