PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau

Date: 12/21/2022

Featured Track/Race: Gulfstream Park – Race 8

 

Race overview: As good a 10k claimer as they’ll run sprinting on the Tapeta, as there are countless who enter with winning credentials, which means value abounds.

 

Pace: It figures hot and contested, as several want to motor early.

Trends: The Tapeta sprints are won by speed/stalkers, as coming from well out of it just doesn’t work.

 

Best Play: #1 COOP TRIES HARDER (8-1): Stalker should be close early and comes out of a key race for 20k, where he was a decent 5th, but note his other two local Tapeta runs, which were as good as anyone in here has done.

Bet Types: WPS bet and value single to end the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
