Thursday Racing Picks: Gulfstream Park

Race 1 - PICK: Madame Moon

 - After striking with success in the last race yesterday, back Todd Pletcher to make it back-to-back wins in the first race today with Madame Moon. She's the likely favorite but sets a strong standard and is the one they all have to beat wearing blinkers for the first time

Race 2 - PICK: Nacho Papa

 - It could be worth taking on the top of the market here with the speedy Nacho Papa. A winner over 4f earlier in his career, this four-year-old holds his form well and looks the clear value play

Race 3 - PICK: Ohanzee

 - The selection took his form to a new level last time out and sets the standard in a weak race. That career best was over the same course and distance as today and a repeat of that rates him as the clear pick

Race 4 - PICK: Rattle'm

 -  Rattle'm ran a stormer last time out over course and distance when second at odds of 60-1 and it would be foolish to write that off as a fluke. The selection has been a solid performer for Marcelo Cuito and team and can produce his first win over 1 mile today

Race 5 - PICK: Jeana's Gem

 - Sister O'Toole has run two promising races so far, but she can be overlooked at the top of the market today. Jeana's Gem has similar form levels in the book and rates the value in an open race

Race 6 - PICK: Cat's Astray

 - Another tricky race to analyze, but the advice is to keep it simple and back Cat's Astray to beat the favorite (Paula Andrea) again today, just as she has on her last two starts

Race 7 - PICK: Blue Bluff

 - Blue Bluff rates the strongest favorite on today's card after really impressing in his last two starts; he can make it a hat-trick today. A five-length demolition job at the track last time out indicates he's in the form of his life at the grand old age of six

Race 8 - PICK: Jost Sayin

 - A really competitive race in which Jost Sayin is the tentative selection. Despite not picking up a win in her most recent starts, she's been knocking at the door with a string of placed efforts and the change in barn (transferred to Carlos David) is taken to bring about a bit of improvement to get her over the line

Race 9 - PICK: Soldado

 - There's a risk that the selection is best fresh, but it's hard to get away from the impression Soldado made last time at Gulfstream and he's unexposed enough to think there could be more to come

Race 10 - PICK: Devoted Kitten

 - The final race of the day looks a match between the kittens; Peacock vs Devoted. We're siding with Devoted Kitten to get the better of the favorite after a strong effort last time at the track in a better race
