Gulfstream Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Handicap
HORSEPOWER (11) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish second over 1673m at this track (Synthetic). Has the gate speed to cross from out wide. Should run well again. PREVENT (9) saluted last start at this track (Synthetic) over this distance after he was in contention on the bend. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring six times from 11 starts. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Likely to feature. IRON HAND (3) finished a 6 length seventh when resuming last start over 1710m in Listed grade at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf). Has never missed the placings at the second run back. Expected to run well. CIAO CHUCK (6) returned from a spell five weeks ago when he was beaten 2.75 lengths into fourth over 1673m at this track. Fitter so watch for a better performance.

Second-up. Comes off a 42-day let-up. First-up after four months 7th of 10 at Gulfstream Park Turf in LR on January 17 over 1710m, 6 len behind Neoequos carrying 55.5kg at $15.20.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up 2nd of 9 at Turfway Park in LR on December 21 over 1609m, 1.5 len behind Encino with 55kg at $6.82. Second run from a spell held ground to the line 2nd of 12 at this track on January 24 over 1673m, 0.3 len behind Prevent with 56kg at $4. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.
