First race at a mile and a sixteenth since the reconfiguration of Gulfstream. The addition of a second finish line makes it possible but races still will start rather close to the turn. Based on the 9f results the last few seasons at Hallandale, inside posts and speed should be advantageous..

This is a curious group with the ones that have had the most tries being the ones that 'look best' at first blush. Kathleen O'Connell's Folk Singer though has endured three off turf starts across town since August and ran by far his best career race on the Calder lawn before that. Gets slick Luis Saez and may have license to get loose on the lead..
