Featured Track/Race:   Gulfstream Park – Race 11 
   
Race overview:  A wildly competitive MSW routing on the turf—that just so happens to end the mandatory payoff Rainbow 6 as well. 
   
Pace:  It looks on the tepid side, as there’s not much confirmed speed on paper, so laying close seems imperative. 
   
Trends:  You want to be close on the turf, as horses just won’t close from too far back if they aren’t in contention entering the far turn. 
   
Best Play:  #9 MRS. ASTOR (5-1): Exits a nightmare trip (that somehow was unnoted in the chart) where she had a ton of run but just couldn’t show it, and now with Jose Ortiz aboard, it’s go-time. 
   
Bet Types:    Aggressive WP bet and single to end the late Pk5/Pk4, and the mandatory Rainbow 6 as well.
