Given generational rain in the area resulting in the closure of Gulfstream Park the last two days and more possible on the way this this afternoon, we return with a race already scheduled for Tapeta Track.
Saturday’s eighth allowances-optional has drawn a field of eight going a mile and 70 yards and half of them can win:
Journeytothemoon (8-5) has a worthy (8) 5-3-0 slate over the surface and trip; Midnight Bella (4-1) is making his first start at a reduced level since claimed four starts back.
Further, Smart Spending (9-2) goes for a barn that’s successful with turf to synthetic switches, but we land on Jazzy T (3-1), who drops a notch in this spot.
Hindered by a slow pace last out, Bobby DiBona has a 30% strike rate in LAY-3 scenarios and the mare brings a compelling (16) 6-6-1 resume to the dance on this surface and is 6-for-15 at the trip.
The clincher is 25% success when teaming up with Lionel Reyes resulting in a positive ROI.
We’re taking Jazzy T. to win at 5-2 or greater and key-boxing first and second in trifectas with her three rivals above.
