Below is our free Late Pick 4 for Gulfstream Park:

Gulfstream Park April 3, 2022

Race 8: Claiming

#6 Conundrum Queen will look to make it two in a row after an impressive victory last time out. She moves over to the synthetic today, but that should not be a problem. #4 Adele Kat was third at this level last time out, and can win today with another solid effort.

Race 9: Maiden Optional Claiming

#2 Streaming Tap gets over to the turf today after getting rained off the grass last time out. He also runs for a new barn today, with Saez jumping aboard. #1 Great Uncle debuts in this spot for Casse, who does well with first time starters.

Race 10: Allowance Optional Claiming

#1 Absolute Grit looks for his third straight victory after dominating rivals in his last two starts. #5 Old Time Revival runs first off the claim in this spot, while finding an easier field than normal today.

Race 11: Maiden Claiming

#6 What Knot drops down in class for this one after running fourth in her turf debut last time out. #1 Knowwhentofoldem moves over to the turf for this race after nearly breaking her maiden on debut over the synthetic surface.

Race 10: #6 Prince Alex, #4 Atullibigeal, #2 Rock Ya Heart, #5 Five Elements

Race 1: Peel Handicap (1st Section)

#14 Royal Agility is ready to win. He’s favoured with no weight on his back and this contest appears more than suitable. #10 Good Beauty won well two starts ago. He’s held his condition and pairs favourably with Zac Purton here. Gate 14 is the only concern. #8 Gallant Hero is closing in on a first win. He caught the eye at the tail of the field and is armed with Joao Moreira this time. #4 Sergeant Pepper has claims. He’s better than his record suggests, and it wouldn’t surprise to see him figure here.

Race 2: Severn Handicap

#9 Towards Success gets the notable appointment of Vincent Ho on his back. He’s shown glimpses of ability, especially in his most recent effort. He can take another step forward here. #4 Kung Fu Tea has claims in this grade. He has a powerful finish and he’s a threat following a solid outing last time out from the rear. #1 G One Excellent gets down to Class 5 for the first time. Zac Purton hops up and improvement is expected in this grade. #2 Light My Day should find the front. Next best.

Race 3: Homestead Handicap

#9 Double Six Pop has his fair share of talent. He’s coming along and he shapes as a strong chance here with no weight on his back. #5 California Sky is closing in on a first win in Hong Kong. He’s racing well and is expected to take another step forward here. #7 Country Boy can do no wrong at the minute. He’s after his fourth win for this campaign and once again, he rates as a threat. #3 En Pointe is a two-time winner from five starts. He has claims. Strong booking of Zac Purton warrants respect as he continues to progress.

Race 4: Lugard Handicap

#9 Precise Express steps out off a dangerous mark. He’s favoured here, especially over his preferred course and distance with the light weight assigned. #3 Leading Fortune is in career-best form having notched a hat-trick of wins. He draws well and gets his chance to extend his winning run to four. #7 Total Power is good on his day. He mixes his form, but the favourable draw should give him his opportunity. #6 Super Oasis has his first start for trainer Tony Cruz. He’s better than his record suggests, and the switch of yards could spark something.

Race 5: Peel Handicap (2nd Section)

#3 Happy Forever turned his form around to finish a close-up second last time out. Zac Purton hops up and he looks like a very smart three-year-old on the rise. #7 Sakewin steps out on debut with Joao Moreira up. He must be ready to perform first-up with the ‘Magic Man’ engaged off the back of a solid trial effort. It wouldn’t surprise to see him find the front. #4 Spontaneous draws well and pairs with Jerry Chau. He’s capable in this grade for Paul O’Sullivan. #1 Rhapsody’s last run in Class 4 returned a win. Keep him safe on the class drop here for leading trainer John Size.

Race 6: Plantation Handicap

#3 Happy Day has done well across two starts in Hong Kong. He draws a touch awkward but if he can replicate his debut effort then he’s well within his capabilities of beating this field. #8 Sparky Star is looking to snap a run of three top-three finishes. He only needs to overcome the wide gate to be factor for Zac Purton and Me Tsui. #10 Handsome Veggie turned his form around to grab fifth last time out. He’s on an upward trajectory. #7 Fantastic Show has a powerful finish on his day, enough so to roll this group if conditions suit.

Race 7: G2 Sprint Cup

#1 Wellington hit his straps with a sublime win at the top-level last start and there is little to suggest why he can’t do the same again on Sunday. He’s top-class and his best has him in front of this lot. #3 Hot King Prawn is in sound form. He’s a threat if he manages to bring his best. #8 Master Eight is a talent on the rise. It might have all come too soon for this juvenile but still, he’s showing signs that he’s moulding into a future top-liner. #2 Stronger steps out following a Group 1 win. He has the class to hang around the finish once more.

Race 8: Pollock Handicap

#8 Cordyceps Two draws well and has remained in sound form. He won well three starts ago and is well weighted here to replicate that performance. #2 Free Foal is in solid form. He pairs favourably with Zac Purton who should ensure the 55-rater gets every chance from gate five. #1 Beauty Spirit is better than his record suggests and his latest run displayed that. He can take another step forward here. #11 President’s Choice gets Joao Moreira. He can test this group with a race run to suit.

Race 9: G2 Chairman’s Trophy

#1 Golden Sixty is looking to snap consecutive defeats. He has the class to defeat this group, but it isn’t going to be easy, especially against a host of solid adversaries. He’ll need to be at the top of the game and if he is, then he should be winning. #4 More Than This is racing well and he’s a big threat. Golden Sixty has lost his invincible aura and More Than This – with two G1 runner-up efforts to the champ in the last year – can overhaul him if he’s not at his best. #5 Ka Ying Star gets his chance and he’ll be hanging around at the finish. #12 Cheerful Days is doing nothing wrong. He continues to advance and meet expectations – something he could well do again at this level.

Race 10: Harlech Handicap

#6 Prince Alex is shaping as a very, very good prospect on debut. He moved well in a recent trial and appears forward enough to make his presence felt first-up after a solid campaign in Australia prior to import. #4 Atullibigeal has shown he has quality. He’ll be figuring in the finish here for Zac Purton and David Hall. #2 Rock Ya Heart is looking to snap two consecutive runner-up efforts. He deserves his fair share of respect. #5 Five Elements is next best. He has the quality to be a factor.

NHL | Panthers vs Sabres

Play on: OVER 7 +118

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach Sunday NHL Free Pick OVER 7 in Buffalo Sabres vs Florida Panthers @ 1:05 ET - The Sabres are off an emotional 4-3 win on RJ Night in Buffalo Friday night. 5 of the last 6 Buffalo games have totaled 7 or more goals. That game Friday against the Predators was a 3-3 game by end of the first period! The Sabres will be unable to stop the highest scoring team in the league here. The Panthers got a 7-6 SO win at New Jersey yesterday as they rallied late against the Devils and high-flying Florida enters this game with 20 of their last 27 games having totaled 7 or more goals. More of the same is expected here. Free Pick OVER 7 in Buffalo

NHL | Red Wings vs Senators

Play on: UNDER 6 +111

Sunday NHL Free play. My selection is on the 'under' between Detroit and Ottawa at 1:05 pm et on Sunday.
These two teams combined to score seven goals with the Senators doing most of the damage in a 5-2 victory in the front half of this home-and-home on Friday. Back on Ottawa on Sunday afternoon, I'm anticipating a lower-scoring affair. Note that the 'under' is a perfect 6-0 with the Red Wings playing on the road seeking revenge for a loss in which they allowed 5+ goals over the last two seasons, with that situation totalling an average of just 4.0 goals. The 'under' is also an incredible 18-5 with the Sens coming off a game that totalled 7+ goals this season, as is the case here, with that spot producing an average total of only 4.9 goals. It's not as if offensive outbursts have been commonplace for Ottawa. It has been held to three goals or less in eight of its last 10 games overall. Take the under.

Play on: Cavs +5 -110 at William Hill

Play - Cleveland Cavaliers (Game 540).
Edges - Cavaliers: 6-0-1 ATS at home versus .600 or greater conference foes … Sixers: 2-8 ATS away in double no-rest situations … With both teams arriving off games yesterday, look for the Cavs to improve on their glossy 10-2 SU and 11-1 ATS mark at home when seeking same-season triple revenge against an opponent who beat them by 5 or fewer points in their most recent meeting … We recommend a 1* play on Cleveland. Thank you and good luck as always.

NBA | Knicks vs Magic

Play on: Magic +5 -110 at circa

1* NBA - Knicks/Magic FREE PICK on Magic +5
Sunday's Free NBA Pick is on the Orlando Magic as a 5-point home dog against the New York Knicks. New York is a team I'm looking to fade down the stretch. It's tough on teams like the Knicks who get eliminated from playoff contention in the final weeks to care at all about playing well in the remaining games on their schedule. Especially a team like New York that came into this season thinking there was no way they wouldn't be in the Top 10 of the East standings. Knicks just lost at home last night to the Cavs 101-119 as a 2-point favorite. Bet the Magic +5!
