Gulfstream Park – Late Pick 5 – Sunday(January 19, 2025) – John Pinder

Late Pick 5

Race selections provided are in the mindset of playing the Pick 5 sequence as a whole; runners are placed in the order of most likely winner, in my humble opinion.

Race 6 SELECTIONS:   1 – 5 – 3 – 2 – 4

#1 Uranium was claimed last time out and remains at the same level for new trainer Carlos Perez, Edwin Gonzalez picks up the mount. #5  Luni Sima is running second off the layoff for strong connections, he looked as if he needed a race last time out.  #3  Starship Mocha returns to the distance that he had previously won three races in a row.   #2 Santos to Wilson will make his second start for his new trainer and gets a jockey change to Emisael Jaramillo.  #4 Scar is dropping in class and always gives an honest effort.

Race 7  SELECTIONS:   3 – 7 – 1

#3 Episode won by five lengths last time out and today gets Lasix for the first time. #7 Xenon is dropping in class after tiring last time. Trainer Carlos David is good with young sprinters and I expect a return to form with this one. #1 Leprechauna showed a lot of promise on debut winning by six, then was unraced for 5 months until last time when she faded in the stretch; should improve greatly.

Race 8  SELECTIONS:   4 – 7 – 5

#4 Space Launch is a closer with a good late kick that should have the pace opportunity to be victorious today. #7  Hot Blooded is a hard trying gelding with a similar style that will be right there in the end. #5  J P Hellish drops in class and has good tactical speed and should be able to press the pace effectively and have enough left in the end.

Race 9  SELECTIONS:   1 – 3

#1 Test Factor is a hard trying colt that should benefit from a cut back in distance. # 3 Courageous Copper ships in from Woodbine for trainer Micheal De Paulo where he was very competitive, very fast recent workout.

Race 10 SELECTIONS:   7

#7 Jalila is a well bred daughter of Justify that will return after a three month rest; last time out was her first start and she ran very well until she tired in the stretch.

Today’s ticket .50 base (pre scratches) : 1,2,3,4,5 / 1,3,7 / 4,5,7 / 1,3 / 7  cost: $45
