Gulfstream Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Special Weight
THE PUMA (3) was on debut at this track (Dirt) last start where he made a sustained run and finished second, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 1408m. Will benefit from that experience and is sure to be right there at the finish. EASTERLY (6) ran well on debut last start to finish second over 1609m at this track (Dirt) in a tougher race. Likely improver so a big run is anticipated. MR MIRACLE (1) has not raced since he finished third on debut over 1609m at Aqueduct on December 6. Should run very well. ACE JACK DEUCE (2) finished third last time over 1710m at this track (Dirt), beaten 9 lengths. In the right race and is sure to prove hard to beat.
