Featured Track/Race:   Gulfstream Park – Race 3 
   
Race overview:  A solid 12.5k N2L routing on the Tapeta with more than a few ways you can go. 
   
Pace:  Expect a bunched group, as there’s not a lot of speed on paper, which means this should turn into a sprint off the far turn. 
   
Trends:  Stalker/closers have been the way to go routing on the Tapeta, as speed tends to come back, no matter how slow they go early. 
   
Best Play:  #7 ZEN (3-1): Versatile sort was a solid 4th getting back to the Tapeta last time and can build off that for new trainer Bayeh, who has been nothing short of prolific off the claim (32%), while showing a definite penchant for moving horses up. 
   
Bet Types:    Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well.
