Gulfstream Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Starter Optional Claiming
LONGBRANCH LOU (5) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by a nose over 1710m at this track (Synthetic). That continued the good form this campaign, with four wins and four minor placings from 10 starts. Can measure up again. NINJA STAR (4) is having his first run since winning by a nose three weeks ago over 1710m at this track. Has transferred to the David Fawkes stable over the break. Sure to be primed for this. UNCLE JOHN (3) went forward last start over 1710m at this track (Synthetic) and held on well for third, beaten 2.25 lengths. Faces an easier assignment so he is one of the main contenders. BAYTOWN PARFAIT (6) finished second two runs back at this track (Synthetic) then improved last time out to score by 2.75 lengths as favourite over 1609m at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf). Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
