Gulfstream Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
SOUND OF THE BEAST (4) is an honest type who impressed last time, scoring by 2.5 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has been in sound form this prep with a win and two minor placings from five outings. Leading contender. GALLANT KNIGHT (1) got the prize two runs ago at Tampa Bay Downs. Safely held last time out when second over 1308m at this track, beaten 6 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SAYBROOK (6) made progress last time out, finishing 8 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1308m at this track after being prominent at the corner. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. BANNEKER (3) produced another moderate effort last start when 6 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1106m at this track. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
