PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                  
Date 2/6/26
Featured track Gulfstream Park
Race number 8
 
Race overview A wildly competitive OC/N2X for fm4up at 5Fs on turf.
 
Pace It looks hot and contested, as there are more than a few who want to go flat to the boards early.
Trends The turf is always going to tilt towards speed, though it has tempered a bit this week, with more runners coming from off-the-pace than has been the norm at the meet.
Best Play #8 COCO ABARRIO (9-2) (turf only): Stalker was a solid 2nd at the level in her first start off a five-month layoff, and while this is a much tougher group today, the flow suits her perfectly, and she should be that much tighter off such an encouraging return.
Bet Types Aggressive WP bet, and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
