Race Details
This is an early race from Gulfstream and there are 10 runners heading to the start. This is a 1m claiming race on the turf.
Race Favourite
Wicked Solution is the 5/2 favourite* (betting odds taken from Bet365 at 23:35 GMT on Friday, 24th April 2020).
There was a second place finish for the Filly on her last outing which was in early April. She 7-2 in her career with one of those wins happening on her first run this year.
She should be back in the frame in what will be her sixth straight race at Gulfstream.
Tips
VICKYTHEBEST will be looking for a return to form after landing a sixth in her last effort. That was on a 1m trip on firm ground.
The three year old had been carrying great form before that, claiming back to back wins, including breaking her maiden.
She hadn’t been outside of the top three in four races before her last trip, which was on April 10th. VICKYTHEBEST is highly rated and will have a good chance, considering her most recent win was in a much tougher race than this.
This looks to be a very even field.
SNOW AND LILLYLYNN scored a win on her last run just over a week ago at Gulfstream. That was a 1m trip on firm ground.
She could be ready to capitalize if any of the front runners don’t get going on the turf and is well worth a look at 14/1 each way* (betting odds taken from Bet365 at 23:35 GMT on Friday, 24th April 2020) in this kind of company.

Race Details
This is a bigger field with 13 entries for the 1m contest. This is a claiming race on the turf at Gulfstream. The going is fast.
Race Favourite
THIRD ARMY is the 7/4 favourite for this contest on the turf. He has not had a run since early November last year and no win in three.
But he hasn’t been far out of the picture in any of his last four, all of which have been at Gulfstream. That sequence did start with a victory there in late December.
Tips
CAUSE FOR PARDON is our pick and one to watch at 5/1* (betting odds taken from Bet365 at 23:35 GMT on Friday, 24th April 2020).
He is, quite notably, coming down in grade and he has put in some good efforts despite not looking like winning recently.
But the five year old is highly rated and can make an impact at this level with Luis Saez taking the ride.
Another that is going to be worth a look is four year old MYSTICAL MOON. He has really come into his own this year with a win and two second-place finishes in his last three runs.
So he is on a big upward swing at the moment. Mystical Moon’s last race was in early April and should be able to muscle towards the money.
It’s a big field so it’s worth throwing another pick into the mix. That will be THE MIGHTY JUDGE who is in a similar position to that of Cause for Pardon.
He has come down significantly in class for this one and on the back of that, with a very good fourth of twelve on his most recent run in March, he can show up.

Race Details
This is Claiming action for fillies and mares three years and up which haven’t won two races in their career yet. It’s a six furlong trip on the dirt at Tampa Bay Downs.
Race Favourite
The race favourite is LITTLE NATALIA at 13/8 odds* (betting odds taken from Bet365 at 23:35 GMT on Friday, 24th April 2020). She broke her maiden with a score at Tampa Bay on April 15th.
That puts her in good stead here because it was such a convincing win, scoring by a massive nine lengths. She may take some stopping one again. She is our pick for this one.
Tips
LONG STORY SHORT should also be in the frame for this one who broke her maiden on her list trip as well.
She has plenty of experience under her belt, although it did take her a lot longer than Little Natalia did to get that first career win.
Now it’s happened it will be interesting how Long Story Short follows up as she looked to be struggling just a little bit prior. Still, she did win in impressive fashion at just over two lengths.
R LOVELY JULZ takes a drop down in class which could make her a danger in this field. Her last run was at Tampa Bay earlier this month and this is going to be a company in which she should handle herself better.
Her first career win happened in late January at the venue. R Lovely Julz has been well respected in the market with a nod towards what she is capable of.

Race Details
We have a 7f claiming race on the dirt (fast) for this evening action from Tampa Bay Downs on Saturday. This one is open to three year olds and above with 9 declared to run.
Race Favourite
GOT THE GIST is the 2/1 favourite for this interesting contest* (betting odds taken from Bet365 at 23:35 GMT on Friday, 24th April 2020). She is coming back down in grade to participate in this one after going only sixth of eleven on her last trip from a 7/1 mark.
Got the Gist has won twice before at 1m, and will easily be a threat if she is back on her game.
Tips
MANCORA has some steady form behind her with back to back second places. It has been a while since she scored however.
But the interesting thing with her is that she was first past the post on her last run which was at the venue, but was subsequently disqualified.
The run was good however so could have a say.
The other one which commands some respect for this race is CANDY FOR ALL who has been in good form. She has struck for back to back wins before managing a third at Tampa Bay Down earlier this month on a 7f trip.
She has now been inside the top three in each of her last six runs and with two scores in her last three has to be looked at from 5/1* (betting odds taken from Bet365 at 23:35 GMT on Friday, 24th April 2020).

Race Details
We will round off our Saturday picks by looking at this late race from back at Gulfstream. This is a claiming race over an extended 1 mile. It’s open to three year olds and above. 10 are entered for the contest.
Race Favourite
There is a clear favourite for this one and that is Vegas Kitten at 9/4* (betting odds taken from Bet365 at 23:35 GMT on Friday, 24th April 2020). His claims come from having struck a win as the 7/4 favourite at Gulfstream back in earlyMarch.
He has had the one run since then, back at the venue in a richer race, but could only manage a sixth place finish up against some stiffer company.
This company should offer a much better chance at a win, but he had still gone off as favourite again. A position he is familiar with.
Tips
We are going to look at CRYPTO GOLD to cause a stir in this one as our pick. He is currently on a hattrick and hasn’t been outside of the top two in any of his last four runs. So there are big positives there and is a three time winner at 1m.
He has to be respected and has Luis Saez on his back. Crypto Gold lines up at a very nice price of 9/2* (betting odds taken from Bet365 at 23:35 GMT on Friday, 24th April 2020).
STOCK TRADE has not had a run since September last year, which is a 212 day break. But he comes back for this one and the five year old is a very interesting entry. Why?
Because he was running and holding his own in better company than this before he went into his break, notably scoring in a Claiming race at Belmont Park in June.
