Gulfstream Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming
BOAT'S A ROCKIN (7) raced on the speed and found plenty to score by half a length at today's track and distance last start in a far better run. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. CYCLONITE (8) was going well before a spell with three straight minor placings. Proven first-up performer back from a break of three months. Sure to prove tough to beat. ITZA BOSS (10) is a distance specialist who could only manage fifth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1006m at this track, beaten only half a length after being in the firing line on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SHAPE NOTE (1) did a great job to score by 0.8 lengths over this course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Likely to be there at the finish again.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 4th of 8 at this track on January 11 over 1006m, 4 len behind Boat's A Rockin with 56kg at $3.90. Before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at Woodbine on November 29 over 1006m, 2 len behind Roi Soleil with 55kg at $4.40. Definite winning chance. Keep safe.
