Jerry Shottenkirk's Daily Picks
Gulfstream Park - Race #1
Picks Notes
#2 Small Reason Made a strong move through traffic and just missed last time, which marked his first on Tapeta. He's had a form reversal and can be a factor in his return.
#1 Exponential His form has been better since moving over to the Tapeta and comes in off a third; Saez returns for the mount.
#5 Souper Fortune Comes off a second-place run vs. better company and fits at this level.
Race Summary Small Reason made a huge improvement in his first on the all-weather track and continued progress can get him to the winner's circle.
Gulfstream Park - Race #8
Picks Notes
#2 Heiressall Drops out of stakes competition and has plenty of experience at GP, with a 6 of 18 record.
#5 Four Graces Graded stakes winner will be a short price and could get into a heated early battle.
#3 Miss T Too Showed good speed in Kentucky and makes her first since in two months; has trained well and will be the one to catch.
Race Summary Heiressall is an option against some rapid fillies and mares and could benefit from chasing that pace.
Gulfstream Park - Race #9
Picks Notes
#3 Super Design Has only two starts, but was one was an easy maiden win at Kentucky Downs; has good late energy and can get a perfect pace setup.
#4 Discreet Tune Was fifth in a fast turf race last out and has been close in all of her appearances.
#5 Zanno Made it gate to wire last out and will probably have to press to keep up here; still good enough for a slice.
Race Summary Super Design probably won't keep up early but will likely make a big run as the speed begins to weaken.
