Featured Track/Race:   Gulfstream Park – Race 6 
   
Race overview:  A slid 50k claimer on the turf, though the back class of #7 THERAPIST (5-2) seems poised to show itself. 
   
Pace:  It should be honest, as there are there are a few who want to be involved in the early splits. 
   
Trends:  The turf has been playing fair for the most part, though speed is never a bad thing on this course. 
   
Best Play:  #7 THERAPIST (5-2) (turf only): Cagey veteran dropped and added blinkers and looked like his old self beating lesser last time and now rises aggressively off the claim for Drexler (21%), which is a great sign, and visually showed this is not a bridge too far. 
   
Bet Types:    Aggressive WP bet and single in the late Pk5, and to kick off the late Pk4 as well.
