Featured Track/Race:   Gulfstream Park – Race 5 
   
Race overview:  A modest 8k N2L routing on the Tapeta, with very few who have shown winning credentials. 
   
Pace:  Expect a tight pack, as there’s not a ton of true front-running speed entered, which means a stalking gear will come in handy. 
   
Trends:  The Tapeta routes have trended towards stalker/closers, as speed has struggled holding—no matter how slow they go up front early. 
   
Best Play:  #6 S. Silo (7-2): In-form runner, which is more than most here can say, gets leading jockey Vasquez, so you know it’s go-time today, and he won’t have to improve much off that close 3rd last time. 
   
Bet Types:    Aggressive WP bet and single to end the early Pk5/Pk4, and to kick off the late Pk5 as well.
