PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  12/5/25 
   
Featured track  Gulfstream Park 
   
Race number  7 
   
Race overview  A competitive 12.5k N3L for 3up at 1m70 yards on Tapeta. 
   
Pace  It looks honest enough, as there are a pair (#2 and #9) that was to go early, which should ensure honest splits up front. 
   
Trends  While Tapeta sprints typically all speed, routes can be difficult on the front runners, and conversely, stalkers/closers can get all the best of it, especially those rallying down the crown of the track. 
   
Best Play  #5 DIME PAPI (2-1): Class dropper was a close 6th against tons better on turf, blasted through the N2L ranks on Tapeta two-back, and now runs on it for the first time since David claimed him, and as good as he is, this surface may be where he’s at his best (28%). 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet, and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
