Jerry Shottenkirk's Daily Picks
Gulfstream Park - Race #5
Picks Notes
#3 The Great Kath Closed very well and was at the bottom end of a four-horse photo and has been competitive at this level; Castellano will have her moving well at the leaders.
#4 Simply the Best Comes off a hard-earned maiden win, and while she doesn't have the experience of her rivals, her latest puts her in the thick it.
#7 Tracy Ann's Legacy Has been in much stronger races and could get back to winning ways; has the speed to engage.
Race Summary The Great Kath has been in good form for while a while and can get a solid trip from just off the lead.
Gulfstream Park - Race #6
Picks Notes
#3 Fuego Caliente Didn't fire on Tapeta last out and is back to the main track, where he was third two races back. Can get a ground-saving run and has the finishing move to be a factor.
#5 Sososubtle Has kept good company and should improve off his sixth-place finish last out; Gaffalione will have him in good position throughout.
#6 Flipping Fish Makes a good run for third last out and stakes a step up in class; one to watch late.
Race Summary Fuego Caliente has been effective at this level and can make a recovery from a dull effort; fits well and can make a strong run vs. these.
Gulfstream Park - Race #7
Picks Notes
#1 Game Boy Benny Has run several good races over this strip and faltered last time in a tough event; can benefit from an inside run and can dig in when challenged.
#4 You're Killin Me Ran on for second in an optional claiming race at Hawthorne and has taken two of his last three; can be a factor in his first local start.
#6 Handsome Prince Woke up with a sharp run for second last out; can carve out a decent trip here.
Race Summary Game Boy Benny weakened last time but needed that start and can get back to good form over a strip that has treated him well (16-4-4-4).
