Race 9) Grade I Gulfstream Park Turf Stakes

Money Multiplier(5): Gets a few months off after an odd trip in the Red Smith handicap and should be super tough in this spot. There’s some speed to the inside of him which should set up an ideal trip for his return.

Channel Maker (8): Put together a huge effort in the Hollywood Derby to just miss to Mo Town. He should get some pace to run at in here and take another step forward at a big price.

Heart to Heart (1): His last effort was so bad that I don’t believe it was him. He loves this turf course and while he is 2-for-3 at the distance, I do think he is better when going a mile.

Race 10) Grade III Suwannee River Stakes

Dream Dancing (5): Ran like she needed one when coming back off the long layoff. I like Julian Leparoux getting back on this horse with some pace to run at; 9/2 is more than a fair price here.

Kitten’s Roar (9): Not sure what went wrong in the Matriarch, but the back class makes her the one to beat here and solid favorite.

Elysea’s World (8): She does not like to win races with only 3 wins in 16 starts, however she is always around the money and is a good horse for those exotic type players.
