Gulfstream Park Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming
BACK EM UP (3) had been in top form landing two consecutive wins before a last-start second over 1609m at this track. Rates highly this line up and is worth another chance. FORTY N FIVE (7) is a talented gelding who tackled a tougher race at his last run on August 30 and finished seventh behind Church And State over 1609m in stakes class at Woodbine. Finds a suitable race and is sure to be prominent. MAGNA TIME (1) comes here off a last-start fourth, beaten 9 lengths, over 1710m at this track. Big run is expected. GRANDE (6) resumes after a break of ten months. Trying to repeat his debut win over 1609m at this track to kick off last prep. One of the genuine hopes in the race.

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 29-day let-up. Most recently got back early in a small field at this track on January 16 over 1710m, 9 len behind Solo Venturi carrying 55kg at $7.70. The race before that 2nd in a small field at Woodbine All Weather on December 6 over 1811m, 4 len behind Tour The City with 56kg at $3.95. Everything points towards a big run.

Resuming after a ten months break. Finished off last preparation second of 10 at Aqueduct in the G2 Wood Memorial April 5 over 1811m, 3.5 len behind Rodriguez with 56kg at $5. At his first start won by 2.5 len this track January 11 2025 over 1609m defeating Camp Hale with 53.5kg at $10.30. Has solid claims.
