Gulfstream Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Starter Optional Claiming
SPLIT STRIKE (1) turned in a fine effort to score by 1.5 lengths at today's track and distance last time out to build on a solid first-up result. Finds another suitable race and can maintain winning form. ON THE PAYROLL (4) won narrowly by 0.8 lengths two runs back at this track (Synthetic) then missed the frame last time at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf). Nice weight drop for this. Has been in strong form this campaign, registering three wins. Expected to feature. THREE ZERO (5) is back from a spell of 12 weeks. Scored a good win at his final run last preparation at this track (Synthetic) over 1106m. Comes here with definite top-three claims. IF NOT FOR LUCK (2) scored last start at this track (Synthetic) to make it three wins from five starts this campaign. Form here at the trip is sound with two wins and five minor placings from eight runs. Can figure in the outcome.
