RACE 4 – Pick #10 Mozano (7/2 ML) - Click here to bet with TVG

After finishing in the money at this distance and level in his last three starts, Mozano looks ready to finally break his maiden. In each of those starts he has improved his early pace position. The Kent Sweezey trainee switches jocks to Hector Berrios, who should get Mozano to a good position stalking the pace versus these and time his move right to get up in time for the victory.

RACE 5 – Pick #7 Got Glee (5/2 ML) - Click here to bet with TVG

There is plenty of speed in this race and the best closer in the race does not look to be good enough to run down the tiring pacesetters. So the key is to find the horse that could get the best trip while battling for the lead or just stalking the pace. Breaking from the outside post position. Got Glee should be close to the pace but doesn’t have to battle foe the lead. She should take over the lead turning for home and go on to victory while making her second start off the layioff.

RACE 8 – Pick #3 Dad’s Yankees (10-1 ML) - Click here to bet with TVG

After tiring in recent starts at Tampa Bay, Dad’s Yankees was given a breather. He ships to Gulfstream for new trainer Rasharn Creque and has been working out very well for this spot. He has excellent early speed and should lead every step of the way versus these. Angel Arroyo, a multiple graded stakes winning jockey who had been riding at Parx before switching his tack to South Florida earlier this year, picks up the mount.
