Gulfstream    Race 1,     7 furlongs   Claiming $10,000 (12:40 ET)

Best Value Play: #5 My Big Angel (6/1)

Most Likely Winner: #4 Genuine Treasure (5/2)

Other Contenders: #2 Elusive Harmony (4/1), #7 Pan Am Lady (8/1)

 Analysis: Genuine Treasure cuts back from a route, gets blinkers, drops in class and Paco Lopez takes the mount…looks tough to me. Elusive Harmony gets blinkers after being claimed and shares a barn with another viable runner in here. Pan Am Lady dropped until she won but always showed she was in the hunt. My Big Angel, stablemate of Elusive Harmony, has seen higher prices and even though she is coming from a layoff and her maiden win, she still has a big shot to upset this field.

 Gulfstream   Race 4 ,    6 furlongs  Claiming $10,000 (2:07 ET)

Best Value Play: #3 Rhonin Victoria (10/1)

Most Likely Winner: #11 Sherry Angel (5/2)

Other Contenders: #6 Wonderfully (12/1) #7 Josh’s Butta Butta (5/1)

 Analysis: Sherry Angel appears ready with good workouts after a rest, takes a drop and gets LeParoux to navigate. Wonderfully is one that tries hard and has a few past races to prove she can win. Josh’s Butta Butta is a pace factor and looks to be in good form with a near miss in her last. Rhonin Victoria takes a noticeable drop, gets a top rider runs for a good barn.
