Featured Track/Race:   Gulfstream Park – Race 2 
   
Race overview:  A modest state-bred MSW going 7Fs on the main, where the proven dirt runners just don’t inspire, which means a fresh new face is in a good spot. 
   
Pace:  There’s very little here on paper, so being able to lay close early should be extremely beneficial.  
   
Trends:  You want to be close sprinting on the main, as horses just don’t make up significant ground, though at 7Fs things can temper a bit. 
   
Best Play:  #2 CONFER (5-1): The wildcard has been routing on turf and Tapeta so she brings two-turn foundation here, and note the only time she ran on dirt it was her debut, against open MSW runners, which is nothing like the group she meets here. 
   
Bet Types:    Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5, and to kick off the early Pk4 as well.
