The action continues in South Florida on Friday afternoon with a 9-race card at Gulfstream Park that kicks off at 12:50 PM eastern. In addition to the everyday wagering menu in Hallandale Beach, Xpressbet and 1ST/BET are offering up a trio of Money Back Specials. Just register on the promotional landing page to earn a chance to get up to $10 back on your first Win bet in select races if they finish second or third. Here are the runners I am interested in assuming their price remains at or above their morning line offering.

Race 2:

The first Money Back opportunity comes in this MSW event for 2YOs sprinting over the Gulfstream sod where I like second-time starter #2 Win N Juice. The $30K OBS March 2025 purchase tried stakes foes on debut in the Royal Palm Juvenile last month, but was off slow and outrun from there. The good news is that came against a tougher group and a move forward should certainly be expected. Especially when you consider the fact that trainer Nolan Ramsey has won 5 of 9 in Florida over the last 30 days and also boasts a strong 3 for 7-record with 2YOs making their second career start. The Win Win Win colt is in with a huge shot assuming he can get out of the gates a little cleaner.
Play: #2 Win N Juice (7-2 ML)

Race 6:

I lack creativity in this $35k maiden claimer sprinting over the all-weather where 5-2-ML favorite #8 Lido Beach looks tough to beat. The $15k purchase drops in for a tag for the first time after a pair of tiring efforts against protected maidens for veteran conditioner Joe Orseno. On debut, the Curlin’s Honor filly was down on the rail and able to grind away a minor share against a considerably better group. Then, she got caught up in a speed duel in her return race versus similar on May 29. Orseno comes in having won 4 of 16 at Gulfstream over the last 30 days with an ROI of $2.36. The Florida-bred is spotted to win. The outside draw helps her cause.
Play: #8 Lido Beach (5-2 ML)

Race 8:

There does not appear to be a ton of early speed signed on in this first-level allowance event at 7-furlongs. This should benefit #3 Avant Glory. The son of Khozan disappointed the public last month when failing to cross the wire first in an open $12,500 claimer over this racetrack, but ran huge in defeat. The 6YO was claimed out of that race by hot training Laura Cazares. Cazares comes in having won 4 of 13 over the last 30 days for an ROI of $4.42 and appears to have made a solid purchase. The Florida-bred drops back into state-bred competition and should find himself in a favorable forward position under jockey Miguel Vazquez. The fact Avant Glory has 4 more career victories than any of his rivals certainly does not hurt. Hopefully, the Cazares barn can keep things rolling!
Play: #3 Avant Glory (4-1 ML)

Good luck!
