R11 - G2 Tampa Bay Derby

#10 - Awesome Banner (8-1) - Willing to excuse FOY try. Draws outside of other speed and picks up top local jock. I don't see Mohaymen or Zulu type caliber horses lined up here and the price is right.
#8 Brody's Cause (5-2) - G1 winner makes his return and there is plenty of pace to set up for his closing kick.
#7 Destin (9-2) - Sam Davis winner took a step forward and will need another one to defeat this group.WON$9.20

Gulfstream Park POST SCRATCHES - FAST / FIRM

R9 - OC 62k/N2X (Turf 8F)

#3 Tombelaine (4-1) - BEST BET - Steady works for U.S. debut after knocking heads with top flight company in Europe. Brown knows how to get them ready and this looks like a springboard race. Hoping to get 2-1 at Post Time.
#8 Commute (15-1) - I'm thinking the underrated jock (Jaramillo) will try and steal this.2ND
#6 Conquest Typhoon (3-1) - Proven at this level, but hard to trust her for the top spot at low odds.WON$8.40
#10 Aripeka (7-2) - Was in perfect striking position in most recent and just didn't fire. Maybe it was the layoff.4TH

#3 Jewel of a Cat (8-5) - Will need an alert start to hold off the charging #2 Katie's Kiss.3RD
#2 Katie's Kiss (9-5) - She's hoping someone puts pressure on #3 Jewel of a Cat early for her best chance.2ND
#6 Rap (12-1) - Has the style to finish the Trifecta.
#5 Miss Matzoball (8-1) - Will be checked for class after a nice win versus lesser.WON$20.20

Santa Anita

R7 - G2 San Felipe

#2 Danzing Candy (7-2) - Beautifully handled and gets to match his talents versus top competition today. Made short work of Alw company in latest and there's seems to be plenty in the tank.WON$13.00
#3 Mor Spirit (2-1) - Top Derby prospect out west will have to bring his best because there's a few ready to overtake him.
Looks to get his comfortable stalking trip.2ND
#7 Exaggerator (5-1) - Battle tested at top level and draws perfectly for his running style.3RD
#1 Uncle Lino (8-1) - Will make his presence felt early and holds on for a piece.4TH

R8 - MSW 56k (Turf 8F) - Good opportunity for PK4 players to check the toteboard for any late clues

R9 - G2 San Carlos

#6 Mystery Train (Arg) (20-1) - Like the bullet last week and Talamo will send. Capable of pulling off a big upset on best.

#8 Kobe's Back (2-1) - Grey looks to launch his devastating late kick.WON$6.00
#1 Calculator (5-2) - Strong performance on come back race despite the slow start. Maybe sprinting is his game.3RD

R10 - G1 Santa Anita Handicap

#3 Donworth (3-1) - Might of been a little bit aggressive in return and should be much tighter for this BIG race.
#4 General a Rod (4-1) - Should be forwardly placed and he has shown some grit in the past.
#5 Effinex (2-1) - He'll have his work cut out for him as he will be trying to run down top 2. Short price.3RD
#8 Imperative (3-1) - Best case scenario would be if some type of pace meltdown materializes in front.4TH

R11 - China Doll 75k (Turf 8F)
