Gulfstream Park's 11-race card, which is headlined by the Unbridled Stakes, joins a competitive nine-race card at Tampa Bay Downs on Saturday evening.

Saturday’s US Horse Racing Predictions

Check out our three betting tips below.

18:58 Tampa Bay Downs Betting Tips

Jackies Dream to win at 11/4 - BET NOW

Low grade $10,000 claimers for fillies and mares (6:58) who have never won two races don't take much winning, which should mean the Michael Dini-trained Jackies Dream will notch her second career success at Tampa Bay Downs.

This three-year-old filly is far more unexposed than most of her rivals (one win from seven starts) and has been running creditably recently, despite never getting on terms with the eventual winner on each occasion.

A daughter of Amira's Prince, who won twice at Grade 2 level in the US after beginning her career in Ireland, Jackies Dream has plenty of stamina in her pedigree and is almost certainly going to be finishing stronger than any other runner in this field.

She broke her duck with a strong kick on just her second start and has run into the money on four of her five runs since. She had no chance behind runaway winner Strong Gem last time but this is a much easier race.

There doesn't seem to be much early pace on offer, which is a slight worry, but it could enable Jackies Dream to sit closer to the speed and she would then be very dangerous turning for home.

Shamrocket to win at 5/4 – BET NOW

Irad Ortiz is back from a month away from riding and partners Christophe Clement's talented maiden Shamrocket, who has posted some good speed figures in defeat in four starts so far in his career.

A well-bred colt, Shamrocket is overdue a success on the track as he has bumped into a couple of talented rivals on his latest outings. He appears to be improving at a good rate of knots and Clement is known for bringing his young horses on for each start in the early part of their careers.

The talented trainer looks to have found a winnable maiden special weight contest for Shamrocket and it will be disappointing if he didn't take advantage. 

21:21 Gulfstream Park Betting Tips

Scars Are Cool to win at 4/1 – BET NOW

Luis Saez and Stanley Hough team up with Scars Are Cool, who may look a fair bit of value if going off at his morning line price of 3-1 in this allowance optional claimer (9.21).

The two-time winner hasn't been in the winner's enclosure since winning an allowance race at Churchill Downs in November, but he has run well on all three outings at Gulfstream Park this year and appears to be drawn to strike in gate two.

Scars Are Cool bumped into a subsequent Grade 3 winner on his penultimate outing, form which looks very strong in the context of this race, and had excuses last time when forced wide throughout.

He faces a couple of unexposed rivals here, not least the Todd Pletcher-trained Legit, but Scars Are Cool is the most likely winner of the race, especially if he reproduces his latest work at Palm Meadows Training Centre.

It is worth bearing in mind that he was considered a top prospect as a three-year-old and was pitched into the Grade 1 Runhappy Travers Stakes on the back of a maiden win at Saratoga last summer.
