Gulfstream Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
FLAG OFFICER (7) did a great job to score by 4.5 lengths over this course and distance last start in a much improved run. Likely to be there at the finish again. SEA GOD (3) recorded a strong maiden win over 1609m at this track (Dirt) last time, getting there by 8 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Looks well placed and he cannot be discounted. SARATOGA CRUISER (1) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a eighth over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. SWEET LAZARUS (6) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1308m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth. Better than recent efforts suggest.

Second-up 2nd in a small field at this track on December 14 over 1609m, 3 len behind Worth Considering with 56kg at $3. Hard to recommend on recent form.

Comes here off a 36-day let-up. Most recently 4th in a small field at this track on January 1 over 1609m, 12 len behind Orb Alpha carrying 56kg at $4.10. Before that scored a big 3.5 len win at this track December 6 over 1609m defeating Expert Witness carrying 55kg at $2.10. Prefer to watch at this stage.

Recent form sound. Most recently scored a big 4.5 len win at this track January 23 over 1609m defeating Jimbo Bailey with 56kg at $4.30. The run before that 4th of 10 at Tampa Bay Downs on January 7 over 1710m, 4 len behind Mr Business with 55.5kg at $4. Confidence high so a repeat performance is on the cards.
