12:40 pm ET Gulfstream Park (Race 1) – Run For Cover 7/2 (2-star play)

Run For Cover, a daughter of Get Stormy, performed well in maiden special weight company on turf in New York including when runner-up, beaten 2 lengths over 5 1/2 furlongs at Saratoga in September.

She proved a disappointment when trailing in 7th in a 5-furlong $50,000 maiden optional claimer in her main track and seasonal debut last month, but the step back up in trip and return to turf can see her deliver a first victory.

1:38 pm ET Gulfstream Park (Race 3) – Just Call Ray 4/1 (2-star play)

Just Call Ray returned to form when dropped in grade and trip when finishing 4 lengths 3rd in a $20,000 claimer at this track at the start of last month.

He takes a step up to 7 furlongs today and is selected to double his career tally with Sonny Leon set to partner the son of Mohaymen.  

2:08 pm ET Gulfstream Park (Race 4) – Takecareofbusiness 4/1 (2-star play)

Takecareofbusiness demonstrated good form at this level when finishing runner-up, beaten 1 3/4 lengths in a course and distance event in December. He subsequently delivered a 3 1/4 length 4th over the same track and trip when making his seasonal debut at the start of last month.

Edgar Perez, on board last time out, keeps the ride and the Bucchero gelding looks capable of doubling his career tally following a 50.80 4-furlong turf work at Palm Meadows Training Center. 

3:08 pm ET Gulfstream Park (Race 6) – Spun Oats 3/1 (2-star play)

The Hard Spun filly Spun Oats showed plenty of ability when delivering a 1 1/4-length 3rd in a mile maiden special weight on the main track at Gulfstream Park when debuting last month. She showed an aptitude for turf when delivering a 46.35 4-furlong work on the turf track at Palm Meadows Training Center in her only subsequent timed breeze.

She switches to the turf for this event and looks capable of recording a victory with Javier Castellano in the saddle once more.

3:38 pm ET Gulfstream Park (Race 7) – Three Witches 7/2 (2-star play)

The Saffie Joseph Jr.-trained filly Three Witches registered a neck victory in a 6 1/2 furlong maiden special weight at this track in her debut in July last year. Since then the daughter of Into Mischief has gone on to place 3rd in 3 starts in allowance optional claiming company, including when beaten 1 3/4 lengths into 3rd over 7 furlongs in January.

The 4-year-old has a top jockey up in Tyler Gaffalione and is taken to double her career tally stepping back up to a mile.
