Gulfstream Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming

WIN WITH FAITH (3) knuckled down strongly to get within 0.3 lengths of the winner in second last start over 1509m at this track. Has a solid record at this circuit. Will be hard to stop. JAVA BUZZ (6) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 2.75 lengths when fifth over 1509m at this track four weeks ago. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. VENEZUELAN HOPE (1) settled at the rear then stoked up nicely in the straight to finish fourth over 1509m here last time. One to watch for in the concluding stages. THEMANUPFRONT (5) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 12 lengths into eighth. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
